Lecturers in mental health Scott Macpherson and Dan Warrender host the Mental Health Movie Monthly initiative on RGU’s Garthdee Campus. They show a film with a mental health theme then facilitate discussion on the shared experience afterwards. The film showings are free and all are welcome including staff, students, carers, service users, family members and the general public.
The initiative provides an equal platform for connection and discussion and its primary aim is to get people talking about mental health and therefore increase awareness and understanding of mental health issues. It is hoped that an increased awareness and understanding of mental health issues will ultimately improve outcomes for those with mental health difficulties.
Our next FREE movie showing will be ‘Adam and Paul’, on the 7th of November, 5pm to 8pm in room N117 of the Sir Ian Wood Building at RGU, Garthdee Campus. Whilst we will be there from 5pm, we will begin the film at 5.30pm, allowing people to arrive from their respective commitments.
As if any extra enticement were needed there will also be FREE pizza kindly provided for those who attend by Papa Johns Pizza.
