The School Mental Health Resource and Training (SMHRT)Center is dedicated to ensuring that conversations about mental wellness take place throughout the year and aim to provide families with the tools to have critical conversations with their children about mental wellbeing. Each year, the SMHRTCenter hosts a Summer Movie Weekend, where a movie discussing mental health is made available to families for free for a weekend. All who register also receive a discussion guide based on issues raised in the movie, to help them talk about mental health with the children in their lives. This year’s Summer Movie is IF, which tells the story of a young girl who goes through a difficult experience and begins to see everyone's imaginary friends who have been left behind as their real-life friends have grown up.

This year, the SMHRTCenter is offering the Summer Movie for a week (July 17-24) and making it available to summer schools, camps, libraries and any institution working with children.
