COMMUNITY SCREENINGS & CONVERSATIONS
The Finding Inspiration Foundation hosts film screenings and community events designed to spark honest conversations around mental health, healing, and emotional wellbeing.
Our events use short narrative films as conversation starters—creating space for reflection, dialogue, and connection. Screenings are paired with facilitated discussions, Q&A sessions, and mental health resources to ensure audiences feel supported and informed.
What Our Events Look Like
Each event may include:
- A screening of one or more Finding Inspiration films
- Or a screening of another filmmaker’s work
- Guided discussion questions or moderated conversation
- Guest speakers with lived experiences or mental health professionals (when available)
- Resource sharing for continued support
Events are intentionally designed to be approachable, inclusive, and rooted in empathy rather than judgment.
Who Our Events Are For
Our screenings and conversations are hosted in partnership with:
- Nonprofits and community organizations
- Schools and universities
- Workplaces and wellness programs
- Libraries and community centers
Whether the audience is ten people or two hundred, our goal remains the same: create a safe space for people to engage with mental health topics honestly and openly.
Why These Events Matter
Many people struggle in silence. Our events help break that silence by normalizing mental health conversations and reminding attendees that they are not alone.
By meeting people where they are—through story—we make difficult topics more accessible and less intimidating.
UPCOMING EVENTS
We will be bringing back our monthly events every third Thursday, beginning on April 16, 2026 - doors open at 6:30 PM. Take a look below at some of our past events. This page will be updated as new events are added.

Holiday of Hope: 2025 Community Care Drive
Bringing Compassion to Charlotte This Holiday Season
This December, we are coming together to serve our neighbors with dignity, care, and hope. The Holiday of Hope Drive is a community outreach effort that supports individuals and families experiencing homelessness, hardship, or financial struggle during the winter season.
Our goal this year is to assemble and distribute 300 Winter Essential Bags filled with practical items to help those in need stay warm, clean, and supported during the cold months.
Support the Mission - We are raising $1,850 by December 20, 2025 to cover:
- Winter essentials (hats, gloves, socks)
- Hygiene kits
- Snacks and bottled water
- Resource cards
- Outreach and volunteer supplies
Every donation makes an impact. Your contribution directly supports people in need in the Charlotte community. See more at the campaign below.
