Films for Mental Health
MMHM is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting mental health and suicide awareness through the arts. We strive to bring diverse perspectives together to create a safe, supportive and accepting community. Every year, we host the Mental Health and Suicide Awareness (MHSA) Film Festival, showcasing entries from around the world that focus on mental health or suicide awareness. This festival brings together the community of film lovers, film makers and those in our community who want to come together to watch these incredible films. We believe that art and film can be a powerful tool to inspire empathy and create social change.
Art for Mental Health
Art is beneficial for mental health as it a creative outlet for self-expression, allowing individuals to process emotions and experiences. Engaging in artistic activities can reduce stress, improve mood, and overall well-being. Additionally, art can foster a sense of community and connection when shared others, promoting social interaction and support. Overall, art serves as a powerful tool for healing and personal growth.
Music for Mental Health
Music has long been used as a form of therapy, and the benefits of music for mental health are becoming increasingly well-known. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress, while also improving mood, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing. Music can even help to regulate emotions and provide an outlet for self-expression. For those struggling with mental health issues, music can provide a sense of comfort and relaxation, and can be a powerful tool for self-care. By harnessing the power of music, individuals can gain a better understanding of their own thoughts and emotions, and use it to facilitate healing.
