MENTAL HEALTH IN THE MOVIES: USING FILM TO EXPLORE AND CHALLENGE STIGMA AROUND MENTAL HEALTH Scott Macpherson Robert Gordon University. Scotland, UK Negative attitudes and opinions have contributed to the creation of stigma around mental ill health, discouraging openness and establishing a culture where vulnerability has become taboo. Film portrayals of characters with mental health issues often suggest connotations of violence and dangerousness. These portrayals have the potential to shape perceptions and lead to negative experiences for people with mental health issues through prejudice, discrimination and stigma. However, film can also be a useful platform for discussion, encouraging awareness, understanding and empathy around mental health. This workshop will involve critiquing specific examples from selected films, studying portrayals of mental health in film and exploring the ethical responsibilities of film-makers. Participants will also reflect on their personal experiences of film, and how these experiences may influence attitudes and practice.

ABOUT THE TEACHER: Scott Macpherson is a lecturer in mental health and well-being at the School of Nursing & Midwifery in RGU, Aberdeen. Scott has an MA in Psychology and has practiced as a CBT therapist since 2005. Scott worked as a nurse in the field of Substance Use for over 11 years and retains a teaching interest in this

area. His other teaching interests include cognitive behavioural therapy, spirituality, human rights and resilience. Along with his colleague, Dan Warrender, Scott developed the Mental Health Movie Monthly initiative which uses the medium of film to engage students, professionals, service users and the general public in discussion around issues in mental health and well-being. Scott is currently studying for a PhD, focusing on substance use, film and stigma.

GAINING CONFIDENCE IN LEADERSHIP AS STUDENT NURSES Peter Griffiths, Catherine Blyth University of South Wales. Wales, UK

The workshop will be used to develop leadership skills of student nurses through a novel approach.

The participants will have to organise an exchange of students to an institution in a foreign university, and will encounter various dilemmas. They will need to solve these to the best of their abilities and when the task has been completed, to put this into a board game, that can be ""played"" by themselves, or they can use with other students/staff at their own university. They will be able to see how by doing this, it can be used in a variety of situations, encourage them to consider different eventualities and to come up with workable solutions.

They will also gain experience in leadership as they will organise a presentation of the work to the others participating in the International Week at the end of the course. ABOUT THE TEACHERS:

Peter Griffiths and Catherine Blyth are currently 3rd year students on the Bachelor of Nursing course. At the time of the International Week they will only have a month before qualifying as registered nurses.

The purpose of the workshop is to provide students with differing perspectives of how we work with patients and families through loss looking at everyday nursing practice and what can affect grief in these settings. How as nurses we help to talk about death in a more positive way, looking at the rise of the Death Café.

REMINISCENCE, BIOGRAPHY AND LIFE STORY WORK IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE Claudia Kaiser Hochschule Niederrhein - University of Applied Sciences. Germany Reminiscence plays an important part in forming our subjective understanding of our selves throughout our lives. Individual and collective memory is a dynamic source of ideas and imaginations that is open to change, interpretation and reconstruction but has a fundamental role to play in the continuous development of identities. Reminiscence, biography and life story work is used in various social and health care settings and serves many different functions, such as:

- it provides coherence and continuity - it encourages feelings of self-worth - it helps to come to terms with life and to be open for the future - it opens up new social relationships - it contributes to social inclusion - it supports an individual and empathetic relationship between staff and client

The workshop will give both theoretical input and hands-on learning experiences with techniques of reminiscence and life story work with different age and target groups in social and health care settings.

ABOUT THE TEACHER:

Claudia Kaiser is Professor of Gerontology at the University of Applied Sciences Niederrhein (HSNR) involved in the BA Social Work and BA/MA Cultural Education and Management.
