Please come to the CHS Auditorium on Wednesday, January 22, 7-9pm, for a screening of the film “Screenagers: Next Chapter: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience.” This is a free and open event hosted by the Cleveland Wellness Team, CHS PTA and Sellwood MS PTA. This film is a sequel to the 2016 film “Screenagers.”

Special guest Dr. Ajit Jetmelani of OHSU will introduce the film and host a discussion afterwards along with one of our Cleveland student representatives. Dr. Jetmalani is a Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Division of Child Psychiatry. He brings a broad experience in helping children, adolescents and their families in outpatient, day treatment, group home, residential and hospital environments. He has a special interest in helping people recover from and become resilient to the impacts of trauma and other social influences on health throughout the lifespan.

Parents and students are invited to attend and we hope it will lead to healthy conversations about the role of screen-use and its impact on mental health and stress resilience as well as provide concrete tools to support young people in healthy use of technology.
