A reflective and participatory documentary

This project began in May 2025. We will create a new addition to MEHAR’s mental health resources by producing a participatory documentary. This project aims at creating an evidence-based documentary which will showcase seniors in action not just the participants but as co-creators. It will highlight ways they can stay active in cognitive, physical, social and recreationalactivities,and experience the benefits of such engagements on their mental and physical wellbeing. The Documentary will be ready for screening by early 2026. This project will promote awareness around the importance of healthy lifestyles, empowerment, social participation, and peer mentorship in mental wellbeing.

If you want to be part of this exciting project as a participant or a volunteer, please contact us for more details before August 31, 2025.
