Film Therapy Forum (FTF) is where members of the community can come together to view a selected movie. After the screening members take part in a Q & A session with invited panelist and expert guest(s), engaging in dialogue about the movie’s main theme. Members learn how movies can evoke emotions and impact mental health.
Filmmakers, panelist, and audiences will have the opportunity to network before and after the screening.
