Join us August 25th, 2022 at 5:30pm for a free screening of the film "Ups & Downs" followed by a discussion with Drew about his struggles with mental illness and the importance of reducing the stigma and asking for help.

It will be held at the Crested Butte Center for the Arts - located at 606 6th Street, Crested Butte, CO 81224.

It’s easy to look at athletes and assume their lives are perfect. For Drew Petersen, he felt his was anything but. Petersen was struggling with his mental health behind the curtain. A near-death accident on Mt. Hood four years ago sent Petersen on a nosedive to personal hell and the years since have been an arduous battle with PTSD, bipolar disorder, concussion therapy and suicidal thoughts.

In collaboration with Sweetgrass Productions, ‘Ups and Downs’ is a beautiful story about finding the light, healing in the mountains and how vocalizing his struggles ultimately saved Drew Petersen’s life.
