The Suicide Prevention Coalition of Long Island presents:

Scattering C.J. 

In recognition of Suicide Prevention Awareness Day, The Suicide Prevention Coalition of Long Island is hosting a special one-time screening of Scattering CJ. This timely documentary tells the powerful story of Hallie Twomey, a grieving mother who put a call out on Facebook after losing her elder son CJ to suicide. Her request: To honor her son’s memory and love of travel by scattering his ashes in as many amazing places as possible. The request went viral. A global community formed to scatter CJ’s ashes in thousands of locations worldwide, helping Hallie find the peace and courage to become a powerful voice in the fight against suicide.

Scattering CJ is not only an intimate depiction of one family’s journey towards healing; it’s a broader conversation about the kindness of strangers, breaking down stigmas surrounding suicide and how we can all play a role in supporting mental wellness.

The Film screening to be followed by facilitated discussion and questions with SPCLI Co-Chairs.
