About the Program
Through vivid storytelling and direct testimony, Lift the Mask takes us into the lives of a diverse group of people living with mental illness and the people who provide much of their care. The film focuses on the lived experiences of each subject, some of whom are “lifting the mask” by telling their stories publicly for the first time. Stories like these are so often hidden due to the social stigma that labels people as “crazy” or “scary.” Lift the Mask intends to evoke empathy, invite real conversation, and normalize the dialogue around mental health. Join The Quell Foundation for this special screening and panel discussion on this important topic.
You Will Learn
- A greater understanding of the many issues surrounding mental illness (access barriers)
- How to destigmatize and normalize the conversation of mental illness in both personal and professional lives
- How to take action in addressing your own wellbeing
