UCSF School of Nursing

Today, we took our Unheard Voices documentary to the UCSF School of Nursing to screen the video in front of 30-40 nurses (in training). The film was well-received, and after the video they asked a lot of relevant questions. This was a good sign because in the future many of these nurses will come across patients who suffer from mental illness. My hope is that through this film they would see these people not just through the lens their medical profession but see them as fellow human beings who happen to live with mental illness. Hopefully future health care providers will remember to treat their patients with care and dignity that everyone is entitled to.
