Healing Out Loud: A Mental Health Film Contest


Healing Out Loud contest image with deadline April 7, 2023

Mental health issues are something that many people suffer in silence due to the stigma that carries. Unfortunately, some people can get so overwhelmed that it starts to affect them physically and can upset their social, professional and educational life. In an effort to remove the stigma and create a more open and honest conversation about mental health, the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE), in partnership with Huntsman’s Mental Health Institute at the University of Utah, has launched Healing Out Loud: A Mental Health Film Contest. 

The purpose of the contest is to get people ages 15-30 to use their creativity and speak out about mental health in a safe space. Participants can enter a short video of 30 seconds or a longer film of up to 5 minutes. Entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 7, 2023. Winners will be announced in early May. For those comfortable doing so, can share their videos on social media and are encouraged to use #HealingOutLoud and don’t forget to tag @uofuhmhi.

Sharing personal experiences elevates the public conversation about mental health and helps to eliminate the stigma for those suffering. We invite everyone to be a part of this important effort by either entering, promoting or following the contest online at Healing Out Loud or on social media at #HealingOutLoud and @uofuhmhi.
