TYTF & YWCA Darien/Norwalk present “Chasing Childhood” – a documentary screening and community conversation

As the world reopens, there has never been a better time for us to come together to ask ourselves: What do kids need most to thrive? “Chasing Childhood” examines how free play and independence have all but disappeared from kids’ lives, supplanted by relentless perfectionism and record high levels of anxiety and depression.

“Chasing Childhood” spotlights experts and families who are empowering young people to explore their independence, enjoy unstructured time, and be free to thrive.

Please join the Thriving Youth Task Force and YMCA Parent Awareness for a community conversation about reimagining a healthier, happier way forward for our kids! Film screening available anytime from March 30 – April 4; watch at your convenience & join our discussion on April 4th at 7pm with Dr. Michael Hynes and Genevieve Eason, both featured in the film. This program is made possible with support from the Darien Youth Commission, the Darien Depot Youth Center, the Middlesex Parent Association and Silver Hill Hospital.

*Once registered for the April 4th virtual conversation, you will receive an event confirmation with a link to the screening sign-in.
