Matthew’s mother, Jane Funk, currently a teacher at Crandon High School, published the book “What I Couldn’t Tell You: One Man’s Struggle with Opioid Addiction” in June of 2017 and worked with filmmakers Molly Hermann & Rob Lyall on the “Written Off” documentary. The screening is recommended for ages 14 & up.  Admission is free. In addition to the film, parents, grandparents & caregivers are encouraged to tour Forest County Health Department’s “Hidden in Plain Sight” mock teen bedroom which will be setup at the school. The interactive room is a simultaneously amusing & horrifying scavenger hunt which helps adults spot the signs of substance abuse or addiction which may be hiding in a teen bedroom.
