PENSACOLA — Lakeview Center Children's Services and numerous local agencies will host a screening of “Paper Tiger,” an award-winning movie that shows how one school improved outcomes for at-risk youths who experienced abuse and trauma.
The event — April 28 at First United Methodist Church, Perry Home Wesley Abbey, 2 E. Wright St. — is free to attend, but first register at eLakeviewCenter.org. Doors open at 5 p.m.; movie starts at 5:30 p.m.; and a panel discussion starts at 7 p.m.
The movie follows six troubled teens who attend Lincoln Alternative High School in Walla Walla, Washington. The school specializes in educating traumatized youths, and was once considered to be a last chance for students before dropping out.
Director James Redford tells the story about people putting trauma-informed care into practice.
