Please join Mad in America for a private screening of Saving Minds followed by Q&A with Director-Producer Catherine Mullins, hosted by Robert Whitaker.

 

In this film, Myriam Anouk and Alo have spent years seeking effective treatment within a mental health system that has medicated them but failed to address the roots of their suffering. Saving Minds captures their intimate stories as they navigate their way to recovery. With added insights from experts in the field, and the candid testimony of author Joanne Greenberg (I Never Promised You a Rose Garden), the film gives viewers a ringside seat as a new approach to mental health care begins to take shape; one that moves beyond the biological-medical model towards a more therapeutic and empathetic approach that puts the patient first and uses medication cautiously.

 

Tickets are $10, but if you're unable to pay you can enter a special code.
