Mental Health Awareness Week runs from Monday 10 May to Sunday 16 May 2021. This year, join the fight for mental health.
During this pandemic, millions of us have experienced a mental health problem, or seen a loved one struggle. And we’ve seen that the support we all need just isn’t out there.
For them, for us and for you – we must take this chance to step up the fight for mental health. That means fighting for change, for fairness, for respect and for life-changing support.
The theme for the 2021 Mental Health Awareness Week is nature.
For #MHAW, the Birds Eye View Team will be watching a film a day.
Today’s film, chosen by Toki Allison, one of the BEV team, is Shirley (2020) directed by Josephine Decker
Shirley is an American biographical drama film, directed by Josephine Decker, from a screenplay by Sarah Gubbins, based upon the 2014 novel of the same name by Susan Scarf Merrell, which formed a “largely fictional story” around novelist Shirley Jackson’s real life during the time period she was writing her 1951 novel Hangsaman.
