This activity is designed for students in 9th grade through college, to increase students’ mental health awareness and empower them to seek help if needed. A link to the film, the film’s synopsis and a short, 60-second public service announcement (PSA) created by youth through the Directing Change film contest, are provided to drive discussion. Accompanying discussion questions have been provided to help facilitate the activity and dialogue about mental health.
After the discussion concludes, students can self-evaluate to see how this activity has helped them better understand mental health.
