Using Film to Create Relational Support and Encourage Early Intervention on Postsecondary Campuses

Movies for Mental Health is an evidence-based program designed to use artistic expression to expose the complicated, personal issues related to mental illness and to create a platform for art to have a positive social impact on young people. This interactive session will actively engage participants in a discussion and demonstration of the role film can have in reducing stigma related to mental illness and encouraging early intervention.

  • Demonstrate the benefits of using short film to engage students in safe discussion and how this effectively mobilizes them to access available resources.
  • Show compelling films that portray the daily realities of living with, and managing mental health issues.
  • Display the connective superpower of art and its impact on compassion and a reduction in self stigma.
