    Dear Life West Community,

    The Jed Foundation is excited to share a new, free campus film screening opportunity through the documentary Each and Every Day, from MTV and filmmakers Sheila Nevins and Alexandra Shiva, created in partnership with The Jed Foundation.

    Each and Every Day is a documentary exploration of youth mental health through the eyes of young people who have attempted suicide or have struggled with suicidal thoughts. The nine people featured range in age from late-teens to early-thirties and come from diverse backgrounds. They share not only their challenges, but also their recoveries and hard-won wisdom about what made their life worth living. In addition to telling their personal stories, all the participants meet virtually, creating an online community to discuss mental health challenges.

    Each and Every Day is a film that is best experienced communally and contains honest conversations between young people about suicide and thoughts of self-harm. For some viewers, this may cause uncomfortable feelings at times. It is important to remember that you can pause viewing as needed. We invite you to learn more about hosting a screening for your campus community using the link below, where you can receive access to stream the film, as well as to access a screening toolkit with helpful tips on how to screen the film at your school.

    If you or someone you know needs help immediately, text “START” to 741-741, call 1-800-273-TALK (8255), dial 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. Find more information and resources at jedfoundation.org.
