Shattered Ice Film Screening + Conversation

Let's Spark the Conversation About Youth Mental Health
Join us for the North Central Massachusetts premiere of Shattered Ice, an award-winning film that uses the power of sports and storytelling to spark meaningful conversations around youth mental health and suicide awareness.
Inspired by creator Jake Miskin's experiences as a Needham High School student and athlete, Shattered Ice is a fictional story grounded in real-life challenges facing today's young people. While hockey provides the backdrop, the film's message is universal—making it relatable to teens, parents, educators, coaches, and community members alike.
Why has this film resonated so strongly with audiences across Massachusetts? Because it creates a safe and engaging way to start conversations that can be difficult to have. It reminds us that behind every student, athlete, teammate, and friend is a young person navigating pressures, expectations, setbacks, and successes.
One thing we know supports mental health is connection. Another is communication. Shattered Ice helps create both.
Following the screening, join local leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, and behavioral health experts for a panel discussion and community conversation about supporting the well-being of young people and families.
