How to Support Your Theater

Help bring KEEP ON LIVING to your community by partnering with a theater and creating a meaningful screening experience centered on hope, connection, and continuing the conversation.

MORE THAN A FILM

One Film. One Conversation. A Lasting Impact.

KEEP ON LIVING is designed to do more than tell a story. It creates an opportunity for communities to listen, reflect, and connect.

01

Watch

Experience real stories and perspectives surrounding veteran life, mental health, transition, and suicide prevention.

02

Reflect

Give audiences room to process what they have seen and consider what the conversation means to them.

03

Connect

Move beyond awareness toward community, support, resources, and meaningful action.

The story may begin on screen. The conversation continues in the community.

Conversation about suicide prevention and mental health
WHY THIS CONVERSATION MATTERS

Some Conversations Are Difficult to Begin.

Talking about suicide can be uncomfortable. For veterans and military families, conversations about mental health may also be shaped by culture, identity, transition, trauma, or the pressure to appear strong.

KEEP ON LIVING creates an opportunity to approach these subjects with honesty, compassion, and care.

The goal isn’t to sensationalize pain.

The goal is to create space for understanding, connection, support, and hope.

THE CONVERSATIONS

The Stories Behind the Statistics.

Suicide prevention is not only about statistics. It is about people, relationships, experiences, choices, struggles, and hope.

01

Mental Health

Understanding emotional well-being and the importance of reaching out for support.

02

Military Transition

Exploring the challenges that can accompany the transition from military to civilian life.

03

Identity & Purpose

What happens when the identity and structure built through service suddenly changes?

04

Isolation & Connection

The importance of relationships, belonging, community, and human connection.

05

Difficult Experiences

Creating room for conversations about trauma, loss, and experiences that can be difficult to put into words.

06

Hope & Resilience

Looking toward possibility, connection, resilience, and the reasons people keep living.

THE CONVERSATION

The Film Starts a Conversation.

What happens after the credits may be just as important as what happens on screen.

KEEP ON LIVING interview with America's Finest

A screening can create a moment for people to listen, ask questions, share experiences, discover resources, and recognize that they are not alone.

WHO CAN HOST?

Every Community Can Start a Conversation.

A screening can happen anywhere people gather to learn, listen, reflect, and connect.

01

Veteran Organizations

VSOs, veteran centers, veteran programs, families, caregivers, and supporters.

02

Colleges & Universities

Campuses, classrooms, student organizations, educators, and military-connected programs.

03

Community Organizations

Nonprofits, civic organizations, libraries, and community centers.

04

Businesses & Workplaces

Employee resource groups, wellness programs, and workplace conversations.

05

Faith Communities

Ministries, outreach programs, and compassionate community gatherings.

06

Film & Cultural Organizations

Theaters, festivals, arts organizations, panels, Q&As, and cultural events.

THE SCREENING EXPERIENCE

More Than Watching a Film.

Move from awareness toward conversation, connection, and meaningful action.

01

WATCH

Experience the stories, challenges, and moments that shape the film.

02

REFLECT

Give your audience time and space to process what they have experienced.

03

DISCUSS

Create space for honest dialogue, questions, and shared experiences.

04

CONNECT

Share organizations, services, and people who can provide support.

05

ACT

Identify meaningful ways your community can continue the conversation.

BEFORE THE SCREENING

Create Space for a Thoughtful Conversation.

Because KEEP ON LIVING addresses suicide and mental health, thoughtful preparation can help create a more supportive audience experience.

01

Prepare Your Audience

Let attendees know what themes the film explores before the screening begins.

02

Create Space to Reflect

Allow a quiet moment after the film before moving directly into discussion.

03

Participation Is Voluntary

People should be welcome to participate, listen, step away, or seek support.

04

Have Resources Available

Make veteran, mental-health, and community resources easy to find.

05

Consider a Moderator

A thoughtful moderator can help guide discussion and keep the conversation respectful.

06

Know Where to Refer People

Hosts should know where attendees can find professional or crisis support if needed.
