HEAR OUR VOICES tells the inspiring stories of nine children and young adults who are fighting to overcome their mental health issues. Their stories are framed by some of the nation's top mental healthcare experts, who contend that children's mental health issues are real and treatable, occurring with much greater frequency than most people imagine.
A film by award-winning filmmakers David and Patricia Earnhardt, in association with Tennessee Voices for Children, HEAR OUR VOICES reveals the high cost society pays when young people with mental health issues do not receive the help they need. The film makes the case that all children need access to treatments and supports that will make a profound difference in their lives.
