Compass & Light: A Series on Mental Health
Compass & Light is a documentary series created to raise awareness and understanding of mental health in our community. It follows the stories of people who have felt the impact of mental illness. For too long those who struggle with mental health have been kept silent by stigma and shame, so we hope that by listening to each other's stories and being empowered to share our own we can create a community of compassion and action.
The seven Compass & Light films are now available and include the following topics: Anxiety, Addiction, Bipolar, Depression, Eating Disorders, PTSD, and Suicide. To access the Compass and Light curriculum and to learn more about hosting an Into The Light event contact info@silentimages.org
