Irish Examiner view: Cork International Film Festival's focus on mental health

Screening of the French film 'The Hive' will be followed by a debate on how children can cope with a parent’s mental illness

The audience at the Triskel will be joined by a doctor, a nurse/therapist, and a social worker for a discussion on an issue which is under-reported and more prevalent than is generally acknowledged.

Well done to the Cork International Film Festival for broadening out its programme to include a live debate this weekend on the way in which children can cope with a parent’s mental illness.

After the screening of the French film The Hive the audience at the Triskel will be joined by a doctor, a nurse/therapist, and a social worker for a discussion on an issue which is under-reported and more prevalent than is generally acknowledged.
