Join Us for a Powerful Film Screening on Mental Health and Suicide Awareness
We are proud to announce that the College and NHS Education for Scotland will host a private screening of The Low Road for the medical profession, a poignant, thoughtful and ultimately uplifting film, created and produced in Scotland and not yet on general release, that highlights the heartbreaking reality of suicide, with over 7,000 lives lost each year in the UK.
This event seeks to raise awareness within the medical profession, encourage open conversations with colleagues, family, and friends, and provide vital support to those affected by self-harm and suicide.
"The overall vision for The Low Road is that if one person who sees this doesn’t take their life or self-harm as a result, then we have all created a success for the world." - Stephen Mulhearn
