Silence, on (dé)connecte !

Entraide Saint-Michel is back at Cinéma Public for the second edition of Entraide Saint-Michel fait son cinéma, part of Mental Health Week organized by RACOR en santé mentale.

This free screening is the result of a programming workshop conducted with a group from the Entraide Saint-Michel organization, which handled all the preparations for a public screening: choosing the films, organizing the reception, presenting and facilitating discussions. The screening will be followed by a discussion led by members of Entraide Saint-Michel. Located in the Saint-Michel neighborhood since 1999 and owner of social housing, this non-profit organization aims to provide a stable, permanent, and safe living environment for adults living with mental health issues. First come, first served!
