"A Recovery Movie Meet-Up Mental Health session makes running groups very effective because it encourages deeper participant engagement. The discussion questions are the really tough ones a mental health professional might typically ask, but because they’re tied to a movie, many participants will find them much easier to answer in group."

RECOVERY MOVIE MEET-UPs are facilitator or peer-led mutual support meetings where individuals come together to watch carefully-curated Hollywood movies that focus on themes of managing and overcoming mental health challenges. The meetings create a dynamic and highly interactive environment for participants to connect, share their experiences, and discuss the movie's themes in relation to their own recovery journeys - offering inspiration, hope, and a sense of community.
Meet-Ups include a discussion session after the movie guided by evocative questionnaires that encourage open dialogue and powerful self-analysis. The goal is to foster connection, reduce feelings of isolation, and reinforce the principles of recovery through shared experiences and storytelling.
