Amplify is proud to help promote an important community event happening this Monday, March 30th at 6:00 PM in Vernon.

Join a screening of Beautifully Broken, followed by a live Q&A with Jared Buchanan, a su***de loss survivor, who will share his story and perspective.

This event aligns with our work in Vernon to support su***de prevention through community education, especially for parents and caregivers. Opportunities like this help raise awareness of warning signs, risk factors, and how to support those who may be struggling.

📍 Rockville High School (RHS)
70 Loveland Hill Rd, Vernon, CT
🕕 6:00 PM
🎟️ All are welcome

Please note: This film includes sensitive content, including discussions of su***de, and may not be suitable for all audiences.

We encourage community members to attend, learn, and be part of the conversation. 💛
