Note the special time Monday, October 12!
LIV is a 39-minute film聽featuring sisters Tess and Liv, who from a young age are inseparable. Liv is a young girl, growing up with relentless pressures of social media, teen depression and, often, suicidal thoughts. Through fearless storytelling,聽LIV聽reveals the realities of stigma, the struggles of mental health, and the aftermath for the survivors left behind in a suicide.
To ensure聽LIV聽was created in a safe and effective manner, the filmmakers worked with a team of therapists to craft the story. In addition, the film was vetted by the leading team at the Children's Hospital Colorado Pediatric Mental Health Institute to ensure the content was accurate and safe, and in no way glorified this issue.聽The film has been approved for youth ages 14 and up by the team at the Children's Hospital Colorado Pediatric Mental Health Institute.
The film will be followed by a聽virtual panel discussion with subjects and a licensed therapist about the film and the LIV Project's mission聽of fearlessly communicating to turn the tide of youth suicide.
