Feel It All

Film screening & Conversation on mental health in the mountains

Join us for the Truckee/ North Lake Tahoe premieres of Feel It All and a conversation on mental health in the mountains with professional skier, film director, and public speaker Drew Petersen. This week will feature two events of the same format that are open to the community with the mission of spreading mental health awareness and suicide prevention. 

Feel It All chronicles professional skier Drew Petersen’s journey from the depths of suicidal depression to the resilience and strength found in running—and skiing the peaks surrounding the Leadville Trail 100 ultramarathon.

Film screening to be followed by a keynote talk from Drew titled “My Story is The Story of Our Community: How my lessons from skiing remote peaks and running ultramarathons can shift the culture of the mental health crisis of the Mountain West.”

In addition to these two public events, Drew Petersen, together with the Tahoe Truckee Suicide Prevention Coalition, will be hosting similar events in our local schools throughout Hope Week - March 10-14. The film, Drew’s presentation, and the mission will also be brought to Alder Creek Middle School, Truckee High School, North Tahoe High School, and North Tahoe Middle School. In order for us to change the culture of mental health in our community, it takes the entire community. 

These events are presented by the Tahoe Forest Health System in partnership with Tahoe Truckee Suicide Prevention Coalition, a program of The Speedy Foundation. Funding was also provided by the Truckee Core Values Fund Grant through the Town of Truckee, Truckee Chamber of Commerce, and Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation.

Film supported by UCHealth with additional support from Mountain Gazette and Best Day Brewing.

Tahoe Truckee Unified School District’s Hope Squad Programs will be celebrating "Hope Week," during regular school hours during the week of March 10-14, in an effort to raise awareness of suicide prevention and mental wellness.

Hope Squad students have organized "Hope Week” projects across the district to allow for their peers to take part in activities that promote hope; including hope grams, friendship bracelets, give/get hope post it banner, kindness letters , education on coping mechanisms, 988 and resource outreach, hall decorations, music in the schools, and more! This year, students at Alder Creek Middle School, Truckee High School, North Tahoe Middle, and North Tahoe High Schools are very excited to get a visit from Drew Petersen with age appropriate presentations and assemblies related to “Feel It All.”

Outside of our school sites, this week-long, community-wide effort will bring together local businesses, mental health agencies, and local non-profits with the goal of destigmatizing mental health issues and empowering community members to ask for help when they are in an emotional crisis. Join us at a community film screening in Truckee or Tahoe City.
