Please join us for a screening of Who Cares About Kelsey?
 
Dan Habib's film project Who Cares About Kelsey? documents the lives of students with emotional/behavioral challenges, and shows innovative educational approaches that help these students to succeed - while improving the overall school culture and climate. 
 
Kelsey Carroll lived with homelessness, self- mutilation, abuse and ADHD.  She was a likely high school dropout - until she encountered an education revolution that's about empowering not overpowering, teens with emotional and behavioral disabilities. 
 
This important and powerful film will be followed by a live Q&A with Kelsey and young people from our community.
