Feel It All: Film Screening & Conversation on Mental Health in the Mountains
Join us for the Truckee/North Lake Tahoe premieres of Feel It All and a conversation on mental health in the mountains with professional skier, film director, and public speaker Drew Petersen.
This week will feature two events of the same format that are open to the community with the mission of spreading mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
Truckee, CA on Sunday, March 9
Tahoe City, CA on Wednesday March 12
Feel It All chronicles professional skier Drew Petersen’s journey from the depths of suicidal depression to the resilience and strength found in running—and skiing the peaks surrounding the Leadville Trail 100 ultramarathon.
Film screening to be followed by a keynote talk from Drew titled “My Story is The Story of Our Community: How my lessons from skiing remote peaks and running ultramarathons can shift the culture of the mental health crisis of the Mountain West.”
In addition to these two public events, Drew Petersen, together with the Tahoe Truckee Suicide Prevention Coalition, will be hosting similar events in our local schools throughout Hope Week (March 10-14). The film, Drew’s presentation, and the mission will also be brought to Alder Creek Middle School, Truckee High School, North Tahoe High School, and North Tahoe Middle School. In order for us to change the culture of mental health in our community, it takes the entire community.
