Resilience film -- mental / physical health

We are watching it in an admin meeting this afternoon.  I will try and keep an eye for an answer to your question.  Are you trying to figure out how to convince them to purchase a license to screen the movie?  If you write to Tugg, they can give you access to a screening channel that may allow you to watch the film with a few decision makers.

I have the same thoughts.  I think I read somewhere that You can get with a local theater and have a showing and pre-sale tickets.  I feel sure that there any many who need to see these movies and how beneficial it would be to those of us who can't make it to the film festival(.  I would be willing to work towards this if my employer would allow it. It involves getting out into the community and schools and official places and being able to "Hob-Nob" with those higher up than me but if I could get it approved I'd put my best foot forward and I personally think it would amazing to see who shows up.

Pardon my ignorance, who's Tugg? 

TUGG.com -- they're distributing Resilience and Paper Tigers.

Much of Resilience  focuses on the Center for Youth Wellness, which works with the Bayview Child Health Center, both of which were founded by Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, a pediatrician who features prominently in Resilience.

thanks again, Jane.

Yeah that Nadine's pretty awesome.

But the unfortunate situation is that there doesn't appear to be much relevant to adults -- unless one's aware of the potentially very serious for those abused, one way or another ("great" recent research on the longterm/adult effects of being bullied as a child) -- so in that sense it's a preventative measure -- which brings up that old issue "How much do people in different fields work collaboratively, across the lifespan. Unfortunately, given the performance of the system over here, I don't think they'd be open to having an "expert consumer" of MH services speak in conjunction with the film.

I'm slowly muddling through the process of getting pricing of renting a local theater to allow the community to view Resilience for free. When I pull it all together, I let you know the outcome. My driving force is from the last seconds of the trailer. "If you can get the science into the hands of the general populations, They will invent very wise action."

I wish you well in your endeavours.

That is a particularly worthwhile statement.

Yet, I've not had much success in getting those with  a stake in preserving the existing "mental health services" to get behind screenings for themselves.

Perhaps the best approach is indeed to go directly to the public.

A classmate and I are planning on showing Resilience on Seattle U's campus the afternoon of Friday, March 3rd. It's targeted to undergrad and grad nursing students because of the time, but free and community members are welcome to join. The goal is to get more people talking about ACEs and Resilience. I can pass on more details as I have them if there's interest in joining. I'm also hoping to offer suggestions for next steps for health care providers to take once they start screening for ACEs, suggestions?

Show them this:

Hi there for the person showing 'Resilience' at Seattle U...  we at UC Davis showed it several months ago and we are now talking about creating an ACEs Connection Group for the UC Davis campus organized around ACES science awareness in education, services (for both students staff and patients/clients seen through UCD) and research.

We'd love to chat with you if there is interest in creating a Seattle U ACEs Connection Group! Or folks from any other Universities out there that may be interested in starting groups!
