"No Letting Go" is a powerful film that gives voice to millions of families who suffer alone and in silence. This poignant film honestly depicts the potentially devastating impacts of mental health disorders, which affect 1 in 5 children in the United States every year. The pervasive stigma surrounding mental illness prevents people from understanding what is happening and seeking the help they need. Sharing truthful, personal stories is an important step toward opening the important dialogue around youth mental health. This courageous film does exactly that and more, touching audiences in a deep and meaningful way.
