The course materials were top-notch and included a wide range of films, from classics to contemporary releases. I appreciated the diversity of perspectives and the way the instructors encouraged us to think critically about the portrayal of mental health in film.

I found the 'Film and Mental Health' course to be a great introduction to the topic. As a psychology student, I was interested in learning more about how film can be used to understand and portray mental health issues. The course content was well-structured and easy to follow, with a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. I appreciated the examples of films that we analyzed in class, such as 'Silver Linings Playbook' and 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided helpful feedback on our assignments. One area for improvement could be the addition of more interactive elements, such as discussions or group projects, to enhance the learning experience. Overall, I'm glad I took the course and would recommend it to others with an interest in film and mental health.

I recently completed the 'Film and Mental Health' course at Stanmore School of Business and had a really positive experience. As a mental health professional, I was interested in learning more about the ways in which film can be used to support mental health initiatives and promote awareness about mental illness. The course content was well-researched and provided a good overview of the topic, with a focus on practical applications and real-world examples. I appreciated the use of case studies and film examples to illustrate key concepts, such as the portrayal of trauma in film and the use of film in mental health advocacy. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided helpful guidance throughout the course. One area for improvement could be the addition of more African perspectives and examples, which would help to make the course more relevant and accessible to students from the region. Overall, I'm glad I took the course and would recommend it to others with an interest in film and mental health.
