Movies for Mental Health

KINGSTON, ON – The Mental Health Awareness Committee (MHAC) of the Alma Mater Society (AMS) is hosting an event in conjunction with Queen’s For the Boys and the organization Art with Impact to promote mental wellness by creating a space for students to learn and connect through art and media. Art with Impact is an organization which brings intersectional mental health programming to universities and is bringing this event to Queen’s for the first time.

The event begins with a two-hour workshop that features interactive discussion among students supplemented by films from Art with Impact’s media library. It concludes with a panel discussion featuring students with lived experience of mental illness as well as representatives from local mental health resources. This workshop aims to educate students about the complexities of mental health and reduce stigma surrounding mental health and illness through creative programming.
