A Trusted Space® Film Series
A Trusted Space® is a free and accessible docu-training series designed to reach community advocates, educators, students, and all who care about and serve young people. These educational films and discussion guides confront the escalating indicators of the mental health crisis among students—soaring rates of suicidal ideation, disruptive behavior, and emotional distress.
A Trusted Space doesn’t stop at laying bare the grim statistics; it delves into the science behind them. Gain insights from leading experts who unravel the neurobiological mechanisms influencing behavior, demystifying the often misinterpreted actions of students. Then, with the facts and motivation laid out for everyone, we look to the future with hope.
"We have to do a better job supporting teachers. So they, in turn, can support
our kids."
