    How it works

    We do all the hard work for you! Everything below is included in our classes so all your instructors need to do is find the right class!

    Script

    Just plug and play! We have a script for each class ready to go so all you have to do is review and read it during your class.

    Contextual notes keep students safe and offer solutions, Facilitation notes keep the class moving and engaged, and Clinical notes give insight into more technical aspects of mental illnesses.

    Films

    At the heart of each class are short films from our Voices With Impact film library.

    Each film tells powerful mental health stories that shed light on diverse lived experiences. The films are moving, memorable, and selected to spark meaningful conversations among your students that allow Participants to achieve all the learning objectives for each Class.

    What people are saying about AOM
    THOUGHTFUL, ENGAGING EXPERIENCES⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We’ve truly enjoyed hosting the Art Opening Minds sessions and are grateful for the thoughtful, engaging experiences they offer. Using film to spark conversations about mental health is a clever and powerful approach that allows students to feel comfortable, supported, and open to sharing in a relaxed, stigma-free space. With clear facilitator materials, an easy-to-use app, and gently flowing content that wraps up with practical tools, we look forward to continuing to host these meaningful sessions in the future.

    SAFE SPACES FOR OPEN CONVERSATION⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The Art Opening Minds program offers a unique blend of creative films, somatic exercises, personal reflection and small group discussion creating an opportunity for students to explore mental health and wellbeing, gain new knowledge, and learn how to offer support to others. The content and resources provided to class facilitators is well developed, structured with sensitivity to the audience and very user friendly. Students really enjoy the innovative, engaging approach and we found the classes lend themselves to creating safe spaces for open conversation and healing. We are excited to continue our partnership with AWI through this program.
