Free Screening of Documentary on Youth Resilience

The West Bend High Schools Youth Impact Club is hosting a free documentary screening of SHIFT: Do What Moves You, on Thursday, February 26. This is an inspiring documentary about real teens who faced tough mental health challenges and found ways to feel better by doing what they love. They were able to "shift" from stress and struggle to hope, strength, and resilience by following their passions. This is a free family-friendly event. Review a trailer for the documentary.


Join the Youth Impact Club on Thursday, February 26, at 6:00 p.m. in the West Bend High Schools Silver Lining Arts Center (auditorium) for the screening.
