SPECIAL SCREENING OF "THE WAIT TO NOWHERE: WHEN A CRISIS GOES UNTREATED"

Tuesday, October 10, 2023, 6:00 pm CT 
Join SPN on World Mental Health Day for a special screening of the short-form documentary directed by Lizzie Costello “The Wait to Nowhere: When a Crisis Goes Untreated”. Without the infrastructure necessary to connect needed resources for mental health care, pediatric emergency departments across the country are filling up with kids in crisis. "The Wait to Nowhere: When a Crisis Goes Untreated" reveals an unspeakable reality: children living in the ER for days, weeks and even months at a time, awaiting dedicated care. This film explores the issue and touches on solutions. True stories are told by those living this nightmare, including hospitals that are caught up in a failed system, while lawmakers help lay out a plan to address the crisis before even more children's lives are lost. 
Registration Fee: Free for everyone
