The Paradise Paradox: Film Screening & Community Conversation

As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, Riverbend Community Mental Health will host a film screening and panel presentation for “The Paradise Paradox” – a documentary film screening for the first time in New Hampshire.

The film chronicles a concerning issue: the community mental health challenges facing many of America’s mountain resort towns. Isolation, inadequate resources, substance abuse and social stigmas are all contributing factors. “The Paradise Paradox” takes a closer look at how mental health providers, outdoor recreation professionals, and law enforcement are working together to create innovative solutions. Olympic gold medalist – and New Hampshire native – Bode Miller is an executive producer of the film.

The film screening will take place on Tuesday, May 14 at Red River Theatres in Concord. Immediately after, a community conversation will take place with local experts.

Members of the public are invited to view the film and participate in the community conversation following the screening. Tickets can be purchased here.
