Directing Change in Orange County

The Orange County Health Care Agency (HCA) in partnership with the Orange County Department of Education, will host the 2023 Directing Change Awards Ceremony for the Orange County schools and students who participated in the 2023 Directing Change program.

The Directing Change Program is a statewide competition in which California students produce 60-second films on topics related to mental health as part of a statewide effort to prevent suicide, reduce stigma and discrimination related to mental illness, and promote the mental health and wellness. HCA facilitated a local judging process for films submitted by Orange County students. The winning submissions, selected by the local judges, will be screened at the event.

This event is open to all participating students, their families, teachers, staff, and community members who wish to help us celebrate the success of the Orange County students, teacher and advisors who dedicated their time and creative energies to the production of these impactful films. It will be an evening of fun and celebration, bringing students together to share their work in support of enhancing the mental health and wellness of our Orange County youth.
