JACKSON, Wyo. — On Thursday, The Center for the Arts will premiere “A State of Mind: Protection the Protectors,” a film that explores the mental health challenges faced by first responders.
The film by Wyoming PBS and presented by Wyoming Humanities will premiere at 7 p.m.
“Our first responders, police officers and any other ‘protector’ often experience higher rates of depression and mental health issues resulting from PTSD,” wrote The Center. “This episode tells their story.”
A discussion will follow the screening with the series filmmaker and producer, Mat Hames along with a few representatives from the first responder community in Teton County.
“TCSAR has been heavily involved in addressing this topic, and whether you are a first responder or not, we know you’ll get a lot out of this film,” said Teton County Search and Rescue.
Admission is free and tickets can be reserved below.
