The Collective Self Cinema Series

Oct. 5, 2024

Megan Mertaugh-Graber originally started Care-O-Van—an inclusive, place-based mental health service for children, adolescents, adults, and caregivers—in 2022 as a mobile care option outfitted in a renovated school bus. The bus has since found a more permanent setting for its services on a family farm, but Mertaugh-Graber remains committed to bringing mental health services directly to the community in unique ways. Care-O-Van has teamed up with the Dennos Museum Center for the Collective Self Cinema Series, featuring Inside Out (Oct. 12), Encanto (Nov. 16), and Coco (Dec. 12). After each film, families are invited to attend the post-screening conversation, which will include psychoeducational and expressive arts programming for kids and their grown-ups. Tickets for each film are $5; visit dennosmuseum.org/events/films.html to purchase and get more details.
