Screening of youth recovery documentary, Generation Found
Addiction is the top health crisis of our time. For many, addiction begins during adolescence. Positive Directions, Silver Hill Hospital, the Mid-Fairfield Substance Abuse Coalition, and the Westport Human Services Department with Gathr Films are bringing the #YouthRecoveyMovement locally through the screening of GENERATION FOUND, the story of the world's largest peer-driven youth and family recovery model, on Tuesday, December 13, 2016.
“GENERATION FOUND isn't just a film, it's a movement. We've used the film to advocate for legislation, and will continue to advocate for recovery education and support funding," said Co-Filmmaker Greg Williams. "It's essential that we bring awareness to the issue of youth addiction and recovery and GENERATION FOUND is a film that presents real world solutions to the failed 'War on Drugs.'"
