Join Hannah's House therapists Gary Frankel and Cathy Hirce on Wednesday, May 29th, 6-8PM at the Steele Community Room in the Waterbury Library building for a free community viewing of "Anxious Nation" and follow up discussion/Q&A. "Anxious Nation" explores and captures the many faces and facets of anxiety. This feature-length documentary deeply looks into the anxiety and the mental health crisis in America, especially its impact on young people (ages 10-26) and families. The film looks at the various ways anxiety shows up, the nurture/nature debate, situations in homes and society that are significantly adding to the problem, the mental health crisis on college campuses, and the impact of anxiety in lower socioeconomic communities, especially the Brown and Black communities. We discuss stigma, loneliness, isolation, disconnection, the alarming rise in suicide, the dangers of social media, incorrect diagnoses, and the horrific mental health ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Our mission is to create a unified community for people struggling with anxiety that encourages open dialogue and the sharing of coping strategies. By shining a light on this often-hidden issue, we seek to create a more compassionate and understanding society that supports those grappling with anxiety." - Anxious Nation Team
