Video of the engaging Q&A at Cambridge University
PROMISE (PROactive Management of Integrated Services & Environments) made a short-video of the very engaging and thought-proviking discussion following the screening of Breaking the Chains at Cambridge University. The audience brought up issues about low-resources, stigma and abuses but also the value of ‘touch’ (and the impact of its absence) in mental health care. You can watch the video made by PROMISE, with thanks to Dr. Manaan Kar Ray.
