Like A Mountain Film Screening
In partnership with Healing Lens Media and the Young Caregiver Council of Canada, the Young Caregivers Association is hosting a FREE live premiere of Like a Mountain: Mindfulness for Young Caregivers.
This 25-minute documentary follows Sam, a young caregiver supporting his father with a rare schizoaffective condition, as he joins filmmaker and cancer survivor Mike Lang and mindfulness researcher Dr. Linda Carlson on a backcountry trek in the Yukon. Through honest dialogue and reflective practice, the film illustrates the hidden challenges and powerful resilience of young caregivers, revealing how acceptance and presence can transform adversity into strength.
Following the screening, attendees will engage in an interactive panel featuring:
Sam Norman, young caregiver featured in the film
Rebekah Gold, young caregiver and National Council Lead, Young Caregiver Council of Canada
Cayleigh Sexton, Executive Director, Young Caregivers Association
The panel will be moderated by Dr. Mike Lang and followed by a guided mindfulness activity with Dr. Linda Carlson.
