My Sister Liv \;is a powerful\, feature-length documentary exploring love\, connection\, grief and the mental health epidemic. The film is centered on sisters Tess and Liv\, who from a young \;age prove inseparable. As they \;grow\, Liv experiences the relentless pressures of social \;media\, teen depression\, and \;suicidal thoughts.
\n\nMy Sister Liv \;is an honest and \;emotionally raw documentary \;of a young life on the edge&mdash\;and a big sister&rsquo\;s desperate \;struggle to save her. With its \;fearless storytelling\, and open \;exploration of connection in the \;face of a serious mental health \;epidemic\, the film unpacks \;stigma and the aftermath for the survivors left behind in a \;suicide. As a family learns to cope with their new normal\, they \;find purpose in filling the gap where serious conversations \;around mental health should be\, ultimately working to save \;young lives.
\n\nThe time to start talking about mental health is NOW. \;Virtually\, over Zoom in the library&rsquo\;s meeting room\, watch \;the documentary film\, \;My Sister Liv. The film\, vetted by the \;Children&rsquo\;s Hospital Colorado Pediatric Mental Health \;Institute to ensure the content was accurate and safe\, and \;in no way glorified this issue\, has been approved for youth \;ages 14 and up.
\n\nThe private screening will be followed by a discussion with \;The Liv Project \;founders and Mental Health \;Director. They will discuss the importance of inspiring Fearless Conversations around mental health and facilitate a Q&\;A \;with audience members and a representative from Marvelous Mind'\;s Glen Ellyn Youth &\; Family Counseling and Caring Conversations Center. \; \;For high school and older.
