Movie screening puts focus on mental health

1 JANUARY 2003

The 1948 classic film The Snake Pit will be screened at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Tuesday 13 October as part of Mental Health Month. Hosted by the University's School of Nursing, Midwifery and Indigenous Health, the movie is based on the semi-autobiographic novel by Mary Jane Ward. It is about a woman who finds herself in an insane asylum and cannot recall how she got there. Adjunct CSU Professor for Mental Health Nursing Louise O'Brien and Ms Tania Naven from the Hearing Voices Network will be special guests at the screening. They will be part of an expert panel discussion after the movie. Snake Pit will be screened from 2pm to 4.30pm at the Ponton Theatre at CSU in Bathurst. Entry is a gold coin donation for Daffodil Cottage in Bathurst.
