Facts and Fallacies: Cultural Representations of Mental Health

Marking a joint effort between several Schools and Support Services across the University, Facts and Fallacies aims to open up an honest discussion on mental health in a safe environment through six wide-ranging talks comprising neuroscience perspectives on mental wellbeing, complex mental illness in the media, BAME mental health in the UK, mental health representations in the Lothian Health Services Archive, and gendered aspects of mental health.

Staff and students from the Chaplaincy and Wellcomm Kings will be on hand throughout this event to support attendees and offer additional information regarding University of Edinburgh resources for mental wellbeing.

Tea and coffee will be shared on arrival from 11am to 11:10am before the start of session one. The day will be divided into three sessions:

SESSION 1 – TALKS
SESSION 2 – WIKIPEDIA EDITING EVENT 
SESSION 3 – SCREENING THE INNER WORLD: MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTION IN FILM AND TELEVISION
