Department of Psychiatry Grand Rounds 2021/2022 - 9/28/2021 - 90 minute Documentary: The Kids We Lose

Tuesday, September 28, 2021, 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM, Online, Portland, ME

Friday, October 1st, is the (virtual) 14th Annual Glickman Symposium featuring keynote presenters Jessica Dere Ph.D. and Ross Greene Ph.D. This award winning 90 minute documentary film will be discussed at the symposium, and is available at Grand Rounds today for our faculty and guests to enjoy.

A collaboration between Lives in the Balance and Lone Wolf Media, The Kids We Lose is a feature-length documentary film about the human side of being a child or student with behavioral challenges, and the struggles faced by parents, educators, staff in facilities, mental health clinicians, and judicial and law enforcement professionals in trying to ensure that these kids receive the help they need. The Kids We Lose also exposes the often brutal, inhumane ways in which kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges are treated in schools, inpatient psychiatry units, residential facilities, and prisons. Their hopelessness, misery, and frustration are palpable. The human toll is hard to fathom. But these are also the most expensive kids in our society. Doing the wrong thing costs a fortune. When we don’t help our most vulnerable kids, we all lose.

The Kids We Lose is intended to heighten awareness and galvanize people to advocate for change. If you’re interested in getting involved, become a Lives in the Balance Advocator. There’s a lot to be done, and Lives in the Balance Advocators are leading the way.
