Mount Wachusett Community College to Host Screening of Shattered Ice to Raise Awareness of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, All Proceeds Benefit LUK, Inc.
From MWCC: Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC), in collaboration with the Reliant Foundation and TaraVista Behavioral Health Center, will host a special screening of the award-winning film Shattered Ice followed by a conversation with special guests on Wednesday, June 17, at 6 p.m. at Theatre at the Mount in Gardner.
The event aims to spark important conversations about mental health, suicide prevention, grief, and resilience among young people and their families. Shattered Ice tells the story of a small-town New England teenage hockey player struggling to navigate high school life after the suicide of his best friend. Through its powerful narrative, the film explores the profound impact of loss, the importance of seeking support, and the role communities can play in fostering hope and healing.
Proceeds from all ticket sales will be donated to the LUK Crisis Center, supporting its mission to provide critical crisis intervention, mental health, and prevention services throughout Central Massachusetts. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and may be purchased online at mwcc.universitytickets.com.
“We are grateful to partner with the Reliant Foundation and TaraVista Behavioral Health Center to bring this important film to our community,” said Lauren Clifford, Wellness Outreach Coordinator at Mount Wachusett Community College. “Shattered Ice addresses difficult but essential conversations surrounding mental health, loss, and suicide prevention. By sharing this story and supporting the LUK Crisis Center, we hope to reduce stigma, encourage help-seeking, and remind individuals and families that support is available. This event is an opportunity for our community to come together, learn, and promote hope and healing.”
The screening is open to the public. Community members, educators, healthcare professionals, students, and families are encouraged to attend. Learn more about the film at officialshatteredicethemovie.com.
