IFRA & Thursday Film Series – Students' Mental Health and Well-Being

On the 8th of February, IFRA-Nigeria and TFS teamed up again to organise a screening and discussion on “Students' Mental Health and Well-Being”. Two short documentaries were be screened. ‘Hear Our Voices: Mental health in a developing world’, a documentary featuring the personal experiences of 5 families told from patient perspectives, and ‘What's eating my mind’, a personal story of living with mental ill-health in Kenya. The screenings were followed by a discussion on Mental Health led by Dr Alero Adegbolagun, a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Specialist.

The discussions sparked by the projections of the two short documentaries, that are both available on YouTube (see above links), and by the presentation of Dr Alero Adegbolagun which was moderated by Janet Meziem, sparked fascinating debates that can be relived by watching the recording of this event available on the YouTube channel of TFS following this link.
