This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Are you watching kids scroll through life with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her own kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens.
Check out the SCREENAGERS website here.
She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time—friction she knew all too well.
In “Screenagers,” as with her award-winning documentaries on mental health, Delaney takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction.
Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, the film reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.
Delaney Ruston is a filmmaker, Stanford trained doctor and mother of two. Along with Screenagers, her award-winning feature documentaries include Unlisted: A Story of Schizophrenia (PBS), about her father, and Hidden Pictures (PBS) about global mental health. Delaney has been invited to speak and screen these and other films to hundreds of audiences in diverse settings around the world–such as at primary schools, conferences, medical centers, universities, the United Nations, the TEDx stage in Seattle and the World Health Organization. For her work in using film in launching advocacy movements, Delaney has won several awards. She has provided primary care in underserved clinics for over a decade.

WE WANT YOUR HELP!
Did you know… When students are not reading at grade level by 3rd grade, they are four times more likely not to graduate on time or at all. Help an elementary school student become a stronger reader and boost their confidence. About one hour a week is all it takes to change the life of a child. The experience will enrich your life too.
We are in great need of volunteers in Lewis County. If you can commit one hour per week for the duration of the school year, we want to invite you to join us at our next Reading Buddy volunteer orientation on November 9.
RSVP on our website to attend. We hope to see you there!
