Making sense of mental health through film. A few moments to watch, listen and experience inspirational stories to help us through our days.
It is important to express ourselves to bring our personal darkness into the spotlight. But how does creativity help our mental wellness? Experiencing any creative outlet, emotionally connects us to a journey. Breaking down our own journeys to share moments can inspire others and create more connected communities.
CREATING meaning, ideas, methods and interpretations to new paths of understanding.
INNOVATING to improve established patterns, plans, and procedures.
EXPERIENCING a new perspective for visualizing a turning point.
The following films were all created through Mental Healthy programs and events. They tell particular stories in constructive ways, not only helping the creator but by allowing the audience to relate in a way they never expected. It becomes their story too, and that can be a powerful thing.
If you have a film or a desire to tell your story, please contact us or consider coming along to one of our events.

Heart is where the Home is.
As winter starts to creep in, let's showcase this incredible program that was launched last year. Overnight movie nights were hosted by First United Methodist church in Salt Lake City. In a joint effort with other local orgs, they opened their doors to unsheltered folks when temperatures dropped dangerously low. Providing warmth, food, clothes and most importantly community. The temperature is dipping once again and we are glad to know the movie nights will be back for a sequel this year. Find out more at https://curbsidecompassion.org/
