Enjoy a networking event with purpose and fun at The Belcourt Theatre, and see a screening of the “Gone Guys” film with parents, young adults, and providers.

A Young Men’s Summit is designed to convene Nashville around the growing crisis of disconnection impacting boys and young men — and to position Cumberland Heights as a central community leader in strengthening support systems. This is not simply a film screening. The intent is to:

• Elevate awareness of increasing isolation, disengagement, and mental health risk among young men
• Create cross-sector dialogue between providers, schools, parents, and community leaders
• Move the community from awareness to actionable local solutions
• An extension for the Nashville Adolescent Symposium | Cumberland Heights on 9/23/2026

Across the country — and here in Nashville — boys and young men are experiencing increasing levels of isolation, disengagement, and emotional distress. A Young Men’s Summit: Addressing the Crisis of Disconnection brings our community together to confront this growing challenge and build stronger systems of support for our sons. Featuring a screening of Gone Guys and a live panel of young adults, clinicians, educators, and suicide prevention leaders, the summit will move beyond awareness to meaningful local action.

Your support helps us convene parents, providers, schools, and community leaders in one room to have the conversations many families don’t realize they need to have. Funds raised will offset venue costs, secure the film, provide resource materials, and ensure strong community participation. Most importantly, your investment strengthens access to life-saving supports for young men right here in Middle Tennessee.
