Night of Hope: Stories of OCD

Join us for a powerful evening hosted by Here For You Clothing as we spotlight mental health through the lens of authentic storytelling. We’ll be screening “Symptoms of Melancholy,” a short film by recent college graduate Rose Luczaj, whose personal journey with OCD inspired this deeply moving and accurate portrayal. Along with other panelists who discuss their journeys with OCD. Come connect, reflect, and be reminded—you are never alone.

The film is rated PG-13 for explicit language and heavy themes of mental illness and grief.
