FATHER & SON MENTAL HEALTH MOVIE NIGHT
2026-03-30 18:00 - 22:30 | Cochrane Movie House
Men! Join Us :
Father & Sons Mental Health Movie Night
Cochrane Movie House | March 30, 2026 | FREE Event (Sponsored by McIntyre Group)
We’re creating a powerful space for fathers and sons to connect, open up, and talk about emotions and mental health — all through the power of storytelling, community, and film.
After last year’s event impacted 200+ men, inspiring honesty, vulnerability, and real connection, we’re back — bigger and stronger, hosting 170+ attendees across two theatres for an unforgettable night.
💬 Why It Matters:
• 3 out of 4 suicide deaths are men
• Less than 30% of men seek mental health support
• Only 1 in 4 feel comfortable talking about anxiety or depression
This event gives men permission to talk, share, and realize they are not alone.
🎤 Special Guest Speakers:
• Keon Raymond – 2x Grey Cup Champion & NFL Titan
• Brett Gardner – World-renowned rodeo announcer, keynote speaker & performance coach
• Grady Gardnier – AEHL U18 AAA Goaltender & keynote speaker
• Daryl McAvena – Founder, Mental Health Movement & Performance Freight Management
🎥 Close the night with an exclusive “Boys Night Out” screening of Top Gun: Maverick
This isn’t just a movie night — it’s a movement. 💙
Let’s change the conversation around men’s mental health — together.
