About this Event
Tri-City Mental Health Authority is hosting the Directing Change Tri-City Screening & Recognition Award Ceremony on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. This festive event will screen short films about mental health, substance use, and suicide prevention created by young people in the Claremont, Pomona and San Dimas schools. There is no cost to participate and this event is open to the community.
Directing Change is part of statewide efforts to prevent suicide, reduce stigma and discrimination related to mental illness, and to promote the mental health and wellness of students. The program engages young people by providing lesson plans and instructional tools to educators and educational resources to students. Youth apply knowledge to their own unique message about suicide prevention and mental health by creating films and art.
This local event honors young storytellers sharing personal journeys of hope and resilience and shines a light on local youth mental health and suicide prevention efforts. Attendees will enjoy a collection of 30 and 60-second films, as well as:
- Hope & Justice art gallery
- Q&A with student filmmakers & artists
- Award recognition ceremony
We hope you can join us for this incredible event to celebrate the hard work, creativity, and immense talent of young people in our local community!
