Charlotte: A Film Screening and Discussion

Love, Loss, and the Ever-Changing Human Condition

Presented by: Allison Wolff, Filmmaker, Donna Kane, MA, CT, Grief Clinician, Jewish Community Services, and Claire Fultz, Director of Mental Health, Jewish Community Services

Charlotte (2018) is a silent, dramatic film that explores the inner and outer uncertainty that comes with grief and bereavement. During this program, participants will view the short piece and engage in a moderated, thought-provoking conversation with the filmmaker. Students, filmmakers, clinicians, and community professionals are strongly encouraged to attend.

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the relationship between identity, taboos, and grief and the impact they have on individuals
• Discuss the use of film as both a medium for expression and social practice and a direct support to individuals as part of clinical intervention
• Apply concepts from the film to work with individuals in a clinical setting, focusing primarily on how to speak honestly and directly about grief and bereavement

Fees:
General Public – $37.50
Teachers from Jewish Day Schools/JCS Retirees – $30.00
JCS Staff and Associated System Employees – Free

Social workers and other clinicians attending this program will receive 1.5 Category I CEUs.
