About Insights:
A new course from Movie Monday.

Film can be a powerful carrier of ideas about extremes of human experience. Over ten evenings we will watch selected films and explore mental illness and recovery through guided learning and guest speakers. Feature films and documentaries with discussable themes and characters will be followed by interactive discussions featuring guests with clinical and experiential perspectives to share in our discussions and earnings.

How might on-screen characters help us understand these challenging conditions in clinical practice and in personal recovery? The series is intended for the general public as well as those working within hospital and community-based mental health services.
