This course was held on March 10, 2020

Presenter

Liz Driscoll Jorgensen, CADC, Clinical Consultant with Daniel Villiers, Ph. D., Director of Admissions and Outreach, Founder at Anxiety Institute

Newport Academy, in partnership with The Anxiety Institute, presents a special film screening of THE UPSTANDERS

The Upstanders explores cyber-bullying, bullying among friends, families, co-workers, and the brain science behind it all. The film highlights new laws and programs already reducing bullying in schools and shows us how we can learn to make a difference together to create systemic change. The film is appropriate for anyone age 13 and up.

Upstanders is an important movie for our times. Bullying can have a lasting impact on mental health - the latest studies show a direct link between bullying and anxiety, trauma and depression. Upstanders explores the impact of social media on our lives and the effects of technology on our brain.

Join us to see The Upstanders, followed by a Q&A PANEL DISCUSSION with experts in the field of adolescent therapy.
