Frame by Frame: Guiding Teens to Advocate Through Film

Join us for an inspiring and informative webinar highlighting an innovative teen film camp focused on mental health and substance use prevention.

This session will explore the benefits of youth-led prevention initiatives, provide a behind-the-scenes look at the camp's structure, and showcase the impactful short films created by the participants. We’ll conclude with a live Q&A panel featuring the teen filmmakers and their adult mentors. Don’t miss this opportunity to reimagine prevention through the lens of youth creativity and voice.
