The Changing Minds Campaign is delighted to announce that a 14 minute videotape exploring the origins and nature of mental illness and how it affects us all is now available from the College. Written, directed and narrated by Dr Mark Salter, Consultant Psychiatrist at the Homerton Hospital, this film is an extremely useful tool for those members or their colleagues who may be lecturing or organising events on the stigma of mental illness. Please watch this film, talk about it and then show it to someone else. They say that you can judge a civilisation by the way it treats its mentally ill. If we can learn to ‘stop, think and understand’, then there may be hope for us yet.

The campaign would like to thank Bristol Myers Squibb Ltd for their generous help in producing this video.

For a free copy of the videotape, contact Liz Cowan in the External Affairs Department (tel.: 020 7235 2351 ext. 122; e-mail: [email protected]). The Campaign is dependent on external funding and a small donation of£5.00 would be welcome.
