“The Son”
“The Son” is a new film written and directed by Florian Zeller. This drama follows a family as it struggles after falling apart. The movie centers on Peter (Hugh Jackman), whose hectic life with his infant and new partner Beth (Vanessa Kirby) is upended when his ex-wife Kate (Laura Dern) appears with their son Nicholas (Zen McGrath), who is now a teenager. The young man has been missing school for months and is troubled, distant, and angry. Peter strives to take care of Nicholas as he would have liked his own father to have taken care of him while juggling work, his and Beth’s new son, and the offer of his dream position in Washington. However, by reaching for the past to correct its mistakes, he loses sight of how to hold onto Nicholas in the present.
With this event, our goal is to raise awareness of mental health issues, specifically youth mental health struggles, and to provide resources and education about youth mental health.
- We are experiencing a youth mental health crisis of historic proportions that has been made worse by COVID-19.
- In 2021, 1 in 5 high school students reported experiencing serious thoughts of suicide within the past year.
- Half of all mental illness begins by age 14, but the average delay between onset of symptoms and treatment is 11 years, so getting help early is crucial.
