Welcome to Monumentaries!

Please join us for a special evening featuring locally produced, PBS national award-winning films at Palmer Ridge High School in Monument, Colorado.

Highlights of the event include:

1. Film Screening: Two short films produced by the Colorado-based Youth Documentary Academy in Colorado Springs: I CHOOSE YOU and AFTER WAR, films about adoption, fostering, PTSD, and family life.

Films were chosen by a commitee of students in Monument reflecting unique perspectives on the challenges young people face today and highlight stories of resilience and hope.

2. Panel Discussion: Following the screening is a panel featuring experts in mental health, educators, and students.

This will be an opportunity to delve deeper into the themes explored in the films and engage in meaningful conversations.

3.Conversation: We invite all attendees to participate in open and honest conversations about mental health topics, sharing personal experiences, insights, and questions in a supportive and welcoming environment.

4. Dinner: Light dinner will be provided before the screening, offering a chance for attendees to connect prior to the event.

5. Raffle Prizes: As a token of appreciation for your participation, raffle prizes will be awarded throughout the event.

Please RSVP by April 23 to secure your spot.
