WHAT OTHERS WHO HAVE SEEN THE DOCUMENTARY ARE SAYING:

Dear Mr. Pantoliano,

My name is Jennifer Schlechtweg and I am (name withheld) AP Psychology teacher; we met yesterday when you spoke at Ridgefield High School. I just wanted to express to you how amazing the assembly program was yesterday. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your documentary and your own story with my students. It was an experience I know they will remember for the rest of their lives and an experience that will encourage them to "Remove the Stigma!" in their own lives and inspire others to do the same.  

The feedback that I received from my classes has been the most heartfelt, encouraging, and courageous, feedback I have ever gotten from my students. It has enabled us to have a discussion in the classroom that I would have never been able to have by teaching just the content, and getting them ready for their AP exam. Just last period, we shared stories about our own experience with mental dis-ease and the emotional hardships that affect the person with the dis-ease and that affect their friends and loved ones. It was extremely eye opening for all of us.

My students and I have been inspired.

Again, thank you!

Sincerely,
Jennifer Schlechtweg
Ridgefield High School
