October has been all about mental health awareness, but there’s always more that can still be done…
With that, HELP University and the Malaysian Mental Health Association are organising a film festival which will solely focus on the theme of mental health.
Entitled “My Mind on Film” (MMOF), the project emphasises on inspiration, expression, understanding and stigma reduction of mental health in the local context.
World Mental Health Day 2020 international patron and the King’s youngest daughter, Tengku Puteri Raja Tengku Puteri Iman Afzan Al-Sultan Abdullah believes young people are the source of solutions and growth, and they need to be encouraged.
“MMOF has amazing potential to give young people a way to share their perspectives and ideas,” she said.
MMOF festival team member and HELP University psychology student Alysha Kyra said the festival not only contributes to the conversation of mental health, but allows youths to express how they feel on film.
