Film Screening

It’s time to discuss the “elephant in the community” and that is our kids are dying every day from substance abuse. More than 90% of people with a substance problem began smoking, drinking or using other drugs before age 18.

This film has real world utility for communities struggling with youth addiction.

Join us for a free community screening of Generation Found, produced by filmmakers Greg Williams and Jeff Reilly, a transformative community story about the people of Houston who are fighting to save young people from the leading cause of death of their generation: addiction.

The film is 45 minutes, please plan to join us for a panel discussion directly after the film.

Panelists include:

  • Amanda Barge, LCSW, President of County Commissioners, Co-President of Opioid Commission
  • Joseph Qualters, Bloomington Police, Deputy Chief
  • Stacy Cary, Peer Recovery Specialist, Centerstone
  • Mary Balle, PMHCNS-BC, RN, Behavioral Health CNS-Riley Physicans, Indiana University Health-Southern Indiana Physicians
  • Brian McCrate, PharmD, BCPS, Clinical Pharmacist, Emergency Medicine, Indiana University Health, Bloomington Hospital
