Short Film Social focuses on Suicide Prevention

The stigma attached to mental health issues may be receding over time, but that does not mean the struggles are easy to talk about.
 
Everybody has their own unique journey and story to share. Three young filmmakers will be joining us on 18 August 2020 at the Short Film Social, to share their films based on mental health. Hear them open up about the film and chat with moderator, Wong Ying Li about the importance of mental health and suicide prevention.
