Boston Friends! TODAY starting at 1:45pm at New England Aquarium Simons Theatre - our MA premiere of OUR TURN TO TALK with Scout Film Festival! A special keynote with the film's very own Anastasia Vlasova, an incredible youth mental health advocate who will be talking about digital wellness and unleashing your creativity. Join Anastasia + Director/Producer/Writer Beth Murphy for a Q+A following.

About the film: When Anastasia was a high school she learned that storytelling saves lives. That inspired her to start a podcast to share the hardship, hope and transformation she and other teens have gone through navigating the downs and ups of their mental health journeys.

Real, raw, and life-affirming, OUR TURN TO TALK comes at a time when it's needed most. It's become a defining film, podcast and impact campaign to normalize conversations around mental health, reduce stigma, and grown the youth mental health movement.

So excited to share OUR TURN TO TALK with you! It's our digital-first documentary with Well Beings about the mission to end stigma around mental health challenges, starting with the next generation. In this character-driven film, we go behind the scenes of a podcast production bringing together teens from all walks of life to use storytelling to bravely share their mental health journey without fear, shame or stigma.​​

Join these teens as they step into their voice and learn to create space to share the impact on their mental health of social media, sexual identity, gender identity, racism, and the pandemic. Please watch, share, and talk!

On Episode 8 of Our Turn To Talk we met Aliyah.
~
One of the reasons Aliyah is confident about sharing her mental health story is because of actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who has been honest about getting help for depression as a teenager.
~
So, shout out to the rock for being an advocate and helping people like Aliyah own their story. 🗣

What happened last week was a shadow within our society coming to light. Although it felt like the government took away human rights overnight, these ideas are deeply embedded within the system. They have been plotting this for awhile now, but it has been put into action.
We speak in solidarity to the women who will be affected by this, and hope we rise together to change a system that is corrupt and unjust.
