Youth Community Fund to Shine Light on Teen Anxiety in Screening of Documentary on March 6

By Youth Community Fund

Feb. 15, 2022: On Monday, March 6th the Youth Community Fund will host a special screening of the documentary Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety at The Picture House in Bronxville.

This 90-minute event will feature a viewing of the film followed by a virtual Q & A and expert panel discussion. High school students and parents from Bronxville, Eastchester and Tuckahoe are all invited to attend. Tickets are free of charge and can be reserved here

What is the difference between “being anxious” and having an anxiety disorder? What can we do about the 634% rise in use of Mental Health America’s online tool for anxiety since the start of Covid? Why is there still so much fear and stigma in just talking to others instead of hiding online?

The Angst documentary delves into all aspects of our most common mental health challenge and features candid interviews with kids and teens who discuss their anxiety, its impacts on their lives and relationships, as well as how they’ve found solutions and hope.

The film includes expert perspectives from institutions such as Stanford University and the Child Mind Institute who talk about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects and resources to help.

It brings awareness that anyone can be touched by - and overcome - anxiety, and includes a special interview with mental health advocate Michael Phelps, the most decorated athlete in Olympic history.

This special film is funded by a grant written by high school members of the Youth Community Fund and awarded by The Community Fund. To learn more about the Youth Community Fund, please visit: communityfundbet.org.
