October is Mental Health Month and this year’s theme is 'Connecting with Community'. It's a time to encourage and support each other’s mental health and to promote mental well-being within our homes and our communities.
Your community could be a group of people who live around you, work with you or who share your interests or experiences. Wherever your community is found, being a part of it creates a positive impact on your social, emotional, and mental well-being. Communities provide a sense of belonging, well-being and connectedness and so this is a good time to be mindful of yourself and others in your family and community, to build connections and to support your community’s well-being as well as your own.
Beamafilm's diverse range of mental health-themed films below aims to raise awareness for Mental Health Month and inspire you to 'Connect with Community' and to support mental well-being.
