9 Training and Education: 2018 Directing Change A filmmaker from Sacramento County shared this note about their winning film One of our members had personally experienced depression. We decided to listen to his story and we used it as inspiration for this film. We learned that people hide their depression so they don't have to deal with it. As a result of this, not many people know how to handle this situation about suicidal thoughts. Another Sacramento County filmmaker shared this note: We decided to film about anxiety because it is such a relevant issue with today's generation. The stress from school, friends, and family have a huge impact on the mental health of teens, which impacts their daily lives. As a result of making this film, we now know and can recognize the signs of anxiety and can help when we see our peers struggling. 17 Training and Education CSU Sacramento American River College Christian Brothers High School Bhagat Puran Singh Health Initiative July 1, 2017 Present 18 9
