We were honored to attend the screening of Paper Airplanes, a moving film about a woman navigating grief after losing her husband to suicide.

The film reminded us of the power of simply reaching out. Through the Nichols Center’s Take Eight Initiative, we encourage everyone to take eight minutes to check in with someone who may need support. A call, text, or caring conversation can remind someone that they are not alone. We were also privileged to join the panel at the Georgia International Latino Film Festival and speak about the importance of culturally responsive mental-health programs that help Latino communities access support and begin difficult conversations without stigma. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. #TakeEightInitiative #988Lifeline #MentalHealthMatters #LatinoMentalHealth #PaperAirplanes
