The Upstanders · Business Community Perspective
Student mental health is important, which we can all agree on. Last week the district showed the movie, The Upstanders that explores the power of connection and resilience to identify and address bullying behavior, both online and in person. What I appreciated about the film is that it shows and gets you thinking about the importance of empathy, self-care, and reflection to transform attitudes and actions. This is equally important for the business community and if we can change the bullying culture in schools, it will translate to the workforce.

Mental health film programs
I think these are the single most important mental health films I have seen in my lifetime. I think that every single school should have this as mandatory viewing.

The Upstanders
I think this film really inspires you to stand up. I liked knowing that even just helping someone get out of a situation can be helpful. This makes standing up for someone a little less scary.
