A workshop featuring award-winning short films, mindfulness activities, & panel discussion with students & mental health resources.
About this event
We know these conversations can be difficult, so students who attend and fill out an evaluation can enter a draw and win one of three Wellness Bundles, which include weighted blankets, tea, journals, and more!
Movies for Mental Health — Sexual Violence Focus (M4MH-SV) is a film-based workshop that focuses on exploring the mental health impacts that sexual violence can have on individuals and communities.
Knowing that art speaks the language of our interior worlds, we harness film to engage with young people on the vital topics of mental health and sexual violence, building empathy for what survivors might experience, and gaining tools for being able to support any survivors in their lives.
The event also connects students with mental health and sexual violence-oriented resources available to them, empowering them to seek support as individuals and communities to heal from sexual violence.
Registration required. Please register here.
