MENTAL HEALTH - IT'S EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS
6TH -10TH OCTOBER 2014
The One in Four Film
Festival 2014 is a week-long free event featuring films which explore the effects
of mental ill health upon individuals, communities and families. The aim of the
Festival is to raise awareness of and stamp out the stigma associated with mental
ill health. The Festival is sponsored by the School of Health.
ENTERTAINMENT AND INFORMATION
Every evening a film
that explores mental health is shown at 7pm, the film is introduced by the person
who has nominated the film for the festival and then a service user speaks about
their own personal experience of living with a mental health diagnosis. By the use
of film and the following debate we can explore and dispel some of the myths associated
with mental ill health.
The One in Four Film
Festival will be officially opened at 7pm by the Mayor of Preston and the Film Festival
Committee 2014. Music will be provided by Mathew Clare from 6.15pm.
