The Paradise Paradox: film screening & community conversation

Description

As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, Riverbend Community Mental Health will host a film screening and community conversation for “The Paradise Paradox” – a documentary film screening for the first time in New Hampshire. The film chronicles a concerning issue: the community mental health challenges facing many of America’s mountain resort towns. Isolation, inadequate resources, substance abuse and social stigmas are all contributing factors. “The Paradise Paradox” takes a closer look at how mental health providers, outdoor recreation professionals, and law enforcement are working together to create innovative solutions. Olympic gold medalist – and New Hampshire native – Bode Miller is an executive producer of the film. 

The film screening will take place on Tuesday, May 14 at Red River Theatres in Concord. After the screening, we'll convene a community conversation with leaders from Riverbend and Northern Human Services; first responders/ski patrol members from two New Hampshire ski resorts; and a professional skier (appearing via video). 

Members of the public are invited to view the film and participate in the community conversation following the screening.
