Let’s Discuss Series
Mental Health Minus the Labels

Join us for a free film screening, followed by a discussion that will explore mental health through the lens of sensitivity and adaptation rather than illness and defectiveness.

During this engaging 2-hour session we will explore mental health issues through the lens of Peer Support, featuring a screening of the film Crooked Beauty. This powerful documentary offers a unique and empowering perspective on what society often labels as mental illness. We will discuss how Peer Support, unlike conventional mental health approaches, aligns with the themes of the film, offering new insights into personal and societal challenges. This group provides an opportunity to explore how Peer Support – and Stress Recovery Coach – can enhance wellbeing, aid in stress management and support your mental health.

The facilitators, Sara N. and Monica W., invite you to consider the idea that what can often be labelled as mental illness or mental health challenges may instead be an inability to adjust to situations that feel unnatural top us or are excessively stressful or overwhelming.
