Now Is Your Chance: Lift the Mask in Your Living Room

Upcoming Screenings

Please check back for upcoming screenings.

 


Now is your chance to Lift the Mask within the boundaries of your home confinement.

For the First Time Ever The Quell Foundation is proud to present our nationally acclaimed documentary, Lift the Mask – Portraits of Life with Mental Illness, to a virtual audience! Please join us for a Zoom-connected, social distancing event that will bring light to a subject that is front and center on our minds right now; our mental health and well-being.

Through vivid storytelling and direct testimony, Lift the Mask takes us into the lives of a diverse group of people, and their caregivers, who live daily with the challenges that come with having a mental health illness.

During these uncertain and often scary times, it is crucial to remind our communities that a mental health challenge is both unwelcomed and unsolicited. Many of you, our friends, family and colleagues, are learning how feelings of social isolation can impact every aspect of our lives. We are here to bridge the gap. Join the thousands of people across the country who have experienced this powerful documentary. We made it for you. Let’s Lift the Mask and Remove the Stigma of mental health.

We invite you and your families to join us with one of the zoom links below. For questions or concerns, please contact liftthemask@thequellfoundation.org.
