Our next movie night will be Friday, September 11 at 6pm. We will be showing A Silent Voice for Su***de Awareness Month.

This movie depicts su***de in a thoughtful manner, and is not intended for young audiences. A trained mental health professional will be in attendance if anyone needs additional support.

💜 September is Su***de Awareness Month.---
The Momentum Center recognizes that mental health matters and that no one should have to struggle alone. ☑A simple check-in, a listening ear, or a reminder that someone is valued can make a meaningful difference. --- Let’s work together to reduce stigma, encourage open conversations, and support those who may be facing challenges we cannot see. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out. ❤️🤝

Help is available, and hope is real.🙏
