A Winchester film screening followed by a panel discussion with Meg Hutchinson will be held Sunday, September 25 from 6:00pm to 8:45pm. The film tells Meg Hutchinson’s personal story of living with Bipolar illness and features interviews with leading psychologists, neuroscientists and advocates including Dr Kay Redfield Jamison, Dr. Richard Davidson and Kevin Briggs. Released in 2015, the film pierces the silence regarding mental illness and aims to diminish discrimination, promote help-seeking and encourage community conversation.
