It is also an important time to talk about the film “Speak to Me” which highlights mental health struggles of Black Americans, particularly men. “Speak to Me” aims to start the conversation about subjects that are at times taboo in our culture; mental health, and vulnerable communication.

This Film will premiere Feb 16th at Sayville Cinemas. For tickets and information visit:

ChariTEA:

PS I Love You Day

Mission: Our mission is to bring awareness to the importance of mental health and decrease bullying. We strongly believe that by educating students earlier about mental health, the conversation will be easier to discuss and students will be able to recognize when they or others around them need help. On the second Friday of every February, we encourage communities to wear purple in order to foster kindness and a welcoming environment, and educate others that mental health is just as important as physical health.
