Parks & Recreation Director J.C. Kennedy announced the department will host a youth mental wellness event at the Recreation Center on Thursday, March 27, 2025, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The event will be held in the Rec Center banquet room and will include a screening of the documentary 'What I Wish My Parents Knew', resources and a question-and-answer session facilitated by mental health professionals.
The minutes state the program is a collaboration with AHPD and CSD; the transcript uses those acronyms and does not provide their full names. The film is the first by the organization Tell My Story, which the minutes say was founded by Jason Reid after the death of his 14-year-old son. According to the minutes, the program is designed as a two-part, 90-minute group experience and is intended for parents, caregivers, leadership and community members. The film will not be available for general public streaming outside of the event.
No registration, cost, or follow-up tasks were specified in the minutes. The board heard this announcement during the March 6 meeting; staff did not request policy changes or additional funding in the recorded minutes.
