Olympic College Hosts Community Screening and Panel Discussion of the Award-Winning Feature Documentary Film, Tipping the Pain Scale
Six Change Agents on A Mission to Find New Approaches for Solving the Addiction Crisis
BREMERTON, WA – Olympic College is partnering with The Washington Recovery Alliance, Salish Recovery Coalition and Kitsap Public Health District to host a film screening of "Tipping The Pain Scale," highlighting the innovative solutions and change agents in the addiction and recovery world making a difference across the country. The screening and discussion will occur on campus at the William D. Harvey Theater on Fri, Sep, 20, 5pm - 8:30pm. The discussion will include special guests Rep. Tara Simmons, Rep. Greg Nance and Rep. Lauren Davis (featured in the film).
"Tipping The Pain Scale" follows six individuals grappling with the current systemic failures of how we have dealt with addiction in communities and their journey to develop and employ new, and often controversial solutions to the problem.
“Solving the complex addiction crisis in communities requires diverse sectors of society to come together,” said Greg Williams, the film’s producer. “Tipping The Pain Scale" is a solution-oriented story that doesn’t spend much time talking about the problem, but where do go from here, and what can we all do to play a role in turning the tide on this often-forgotten pandemic impacting more than 40 million Americans and their families directly."
Josh Lane, Director of Well-Being and Health Promotion at Olympic College, adds that “we are very excited to host this screening event to hold space for deeper connections, highlight the recovery supports underway at Olympic College, and learn from our local leaders how we can further advocate for the needs of our communities in Kitsap and Mason counties”
