The City of SOMERVILLE & SOMERVILLE MEDIA CENTER ARE PLEASED TO
ANNOUNCE THE FREE 2020 SCREENING SERIES OF “From My HEART TO
YOURS.”
This event takes place at the SOMERVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY MAIN BRANCH.
This short educational film provides an intimate look at how the
availability and use of opioids have impacted the lives of many
individuals, especially here locally,” said SOMERVILLE’s
Prevention Services Manager Matthew Mitchell. “It offers an
opportunity for folks to see how the City of SOMERVILLE IS WORKING TO
STAMP OUT STIGMA AND SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS IN RECOVERY AS WELL AS THEIR
FAMILIES/friends and the community as a whole.”
“From My HEART TO YOURS” is the result of a collaboration between
the City of SOMERVILLE’s Health and Human Services Department and
the SOMERVILLE MEDIA CENTER, a non-profit community media arts
organization that is the oldest media access center in Massachusetts.
“It has been our mission as an organization for nearly forty years
to share the stories often unheard or not represented in mainstream
media with our community through educational videos,” adds Erica
Jones, Director of Institutional Advancement at SOMERVILLE MEDIA
CENTER. “The opioid epidemic is one that hits home for many people
and to be able to try to convey the stories of those who were at their
most vulnerable state and their journey to recovery was an incredibly
powerful and moving experience for our team.”
