Our past experiences don’t define us, but they can have a lasting impact on our mental and physical health and even our relationships. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are not our fault. We didn’t have control over when or why they happened, but we can live beyond ACEs and take steps toward healing.

We believe we can help unite our community members with a shared vision of improved mental health and equality. Remember, you matter, you are loved, and you are worthy!"

The Angst Documentary

Angst: Building Resilience is a film-based program designed to raise awareness around anxiety.

The goal of Angst is to remove the stigma and open up the conversation around anxiety, helping people understand and manage their symptoms, and when to reach out for help. Most importantly, it shows people that they are not alone and that anxiety is 100% treatable.

​

The film includes interviews with kids, teenagers, educators, mental health experts, parents, and a special interview with Michael Phelps. With a 43-minute runtime, the film is easy to integrate into a class period.

Dr. Jerry Bubrick

Senior Psychologist, Child Mind Institute

Dr. John Duffy

Clinical Psychologist, Author

American School Counselor Association Chair

By teaching Angst in the classroom, you will enable students to:

Chapter Learning Modules

Angst: Chapter Learning Modules are a starting framework to facilitate deeper learning, reflection, and conversation regarding the Angst documentary, especially great for group-focused sessions.

They include the film broken into short video clips with post-screening guides that include discussion questions and reflection prompts. You can review the 12 modules and engage students by drawing on the guide included within each chapter.

SEL Activities

Eight interactive SEL activities based on cognitive behavioral therapy and the CASEL SEL Core Competences.

A collection of tools and practices to inspire and nurture you to be resilient, mindful, grounded, and joyful throughout your day-to-day. Designed to deepen learning, gamify talking about our feelings, and support long-term attitude and habit shift. These activities can be assigned as standalone exercises or integrated into a longer classroom lesson plan.

Include detailed instructions, learning objectives, student reflection prompts, and necessary resources for completion in a classroom or at-home setting.

​

Able to be printed for students to hand-write answers or downloaded to save their reflections digitally; each exercise can also be accessed, printed or saved individually.

Additional Resources

Tip Sheet - Ask students to print or download to devices, or provide them a copy, as a keepsake of main takeaways, useful tips, and possible action items.

At-Home Discussion Guide - Provide students with a guided opportunity to involve their family members, another way for them to become "SEL Champions" at home!

Q+A Panel - A panel discussion featuring experts. Provides an opportunity to learn more about key topics and frequently-asked questions, especially great for educators and parents of students.

Online Tools & Resources - Use this collection of supplementary content to continue your own learning process, and/or that of your students.

How This Program Helps Educators Positively Impact Youth:

This hopeful and inspiring film program has helped over 2 million people worldwide - working to de-stigmatize and normalize talking about mental health.

The core goals are to help people recognize the symptoms, give them coping tools, and encourage them to reach out for support when they need it.

Endorsed by educators, psychiatrists, and mental health advocates around the world, the Angst: Building Resilience program has been crafted with the collaboration of organizations such as: American School Counselor Association, International School Counselor Association, Child Mind Institute, Common Sense Media, and Seattle Children's Hospital.

​

The need for this program has never been more critical:

Pre-pandemic all-time record of anxiety amongst young people

COVID has made students more stressed, isolated, sad and overwhelmed, with many more needing emergency treatment for mental health problems.

95%

Think Angst is helpful for kids and teens

82%

81%

Are more open to talking about anxiety

Safe Supportive Schools promote well-being and equity for all school staff and students by implementing comprehensive school mental health systems with policies and practices that are trauma-informed and culturally responsive.

CSMHSs provide a full array of supports and services that promote positive school climate, social emotional learning, mental health and well-being, while reducing the prevalence and severity of mental illness. CSMHSs are built on a strong foundation of district and school professionals, including administrators and educators and specialized instructional support personnel in strategic partnership with students, families, and community health and mental health partners. CSMHSs assess and address the social and environmental factors that influence education and mental health.

In a culturally responsive school, students' and educators' cultural references are included in all aspects of schooling, including supports and services that promote well-being and mental health. Culturally responsive schools acknowledge, respond to, and celebrate diverse cultures. Equitable schools provide the climate and resources that enable all students and educators to perform at their highest level.

In a trauma-informed school, the adults in the school community are prepared to recognize and respond to those who have been impacted by traumatic stress. Those adults include administrators, teachers, staff, and parents. In addition, students are provided with clear expectations and strategies to guide them through stressful situations. The goal is to not only provide tools to cope with extreme situations but to create an underlying culture of respect and support.
