Mental Health in the Mountains
Wednesday, March 1
Wilkinson Public Library Program Room
starts at 5:30 pm, drop in whenever- timing is casual. Food will be provided. 
Join the Telluride Mountain Club and Wilkinson Public Library for a free event about mental health and how it plays into and relates to our passions in the mountains. Our schedule of events include:
-The premiere of the film Heart and Soul and Concrete. Meredith Edwards is an accomplished ultra-runner and mountain athlete who has suffered from abuse and has developed a kinetic way of processing her trauma–dance rollerblading. Meredith will be attending the event for a film Q&A.
-A showing of Ups and Downs. This film showcases professional skier Drew Petersen’s navigation of the mountains and valleys of mental health through skiing.
-An open and public panel discussion on the topic of mental health in our mountain town. We are encouraging questions from the audience and hope to walk away with new tools and resources for outdoor grief and trauma. Panel participants include: Meredith Edwards, Lauren Glass, Danielle Beamer, and more to be announced soon.
