August 25 at 7PM NAMI Minnesota and its partner affiliates will hold a free screening of the documentary Angst online to open up a dialogue about youth and anxiety. The event will feature a viewing of the 56-minute film, followed by an informative panel discussion led by mental health professionals.

Angst producers Scilla Andreen and Karin Gornick have one goal: to start a global conversation and raise awareness around anxiety. Through candid interviews, they utilize the power of film to tell the stories of many kids and teens who discuss their anxiety and its impacts on their lives and relationships, as well as how they’ve found solutions and hope. The film also includes a special interview with Michael Phelps, a mental health advocate and one of the greatest athletes of all-time. There are 1,000 tickets available for this event. Pre-registration is required. Go to link below to reserve your spot.

Families with children ages ten and up are invited to register now for the online screening of the documentary Angst at 7 pm on August 25.

This event will feature a viewing of the 56-minute film, followed by an informative panel discussion led by experts in the children’s mental health field.

Through candid interviews, the makers of Angst tell the stories of many kids and teens who discuss their anxiety and its impacts on their lives and relationships. The film also includes a special interview with Michael Phelps, a mental health advocate and one of the greatest athletes of all-time. While Angst documents the struggles some people have with anxiety, it also reveals their hope for the future. Noah, a teenager in the film, describes it this way: “Anxiety doesn’t define me. It’s not just a curse; it also gives me strength.”
