A preview of ErieKIDS' movie "In the Middle".

Divorce and its impact continues to be a significant traumatic event in the lives of children. Anger, Anxiety and Depression plague children of divorce. All too often, these families are devastated and broken; left to recapture some semblance of balance. With the painful end of a relationship, and legal battles over support and custody, the first several months or even years promise a rich opportunity for more turmoil.

With the goal to create a tool for understanding and healing, ErieKIDS has produced "In the Middle"; our third musical short-film. This chapter in the ErieKIDS Emotional Intelligence series highlights depression as a result of a difficult divorce. Our lead character demonstrates typical depressive symptoms as she endures the impact of the divorce. While sensitive to such a difficult subject, ErieKIDS has not shied away from the realities of the conflict.

This broadcast-ready movie is packed with 5 songs that tell the story in a way kids can connect with. "Let's Go", "You Don't Know Me", "I Got This", "Standing Alone" and "Love it Seems" anchor the message of pain that can only be eased by the love of a parent and the care of friends. The movie website; "In the Middle, the Movie" offers information about the movie, cast, composers and links to local, state, and national mental health organizations.

The target audience is Pre-K 8th Grade. The DVD also includes an easy-to-use classroom curriculum, information for parents and a referral form that kids can use to alert adults of their concerns.
