Instructor: Nicole Espinosa, LCSW & Jeanne Schwertfeger, Resource Adoptive Parent
Description: Cracked Up is an Award‐winning documentary of the impact that childhood trauma can have across a lifetime through the incredibly courageous and personal story of comedian, actor, and Saturday Night Live legend Darrell Hammond.
Renowned for his impressions of Bill Clinton, Sean Connery, and hundreds
more, Hammond wowed SNL audiences for a record-breaking 14 seasons. Although Hammond performed
brilliantly on live TV, behind the scenes he suffered from debilitating flashbacks, self-injury and
addictions, symptoms which were misdiagnosed by over 40 doctors as mental illnesses, including:
multiple personality disorder, manic depression, and schizophrenia. Not until a suicide attempt that
brought Hammond together with Dr. Nabil Kotbi was he properly diagnosed and treated, unleashing
the memories his brain had locked away for over 50 years. Join us for a screening of this riveting
film followed by a discussion. This film is a must-see for all Resource Parents!
