A Successful Screening and Panel Discussion on Mental Health | |
Foot Print to Success Clubhouse partnered with Dr. Mesa and Psychology professor Jean Paul Gilmour, M.S. for a powerful event at Keiser University. We screened excerpts from the documentary My Missing Screw, followed by a panel discussion addressing the mental health themes raised in the film.

Nitsan, known for her successful documentaries, shared her insights with an engaged audience, furthering our mission to raise awareness around mental health. It was a truly impactful event, and we thank all who attended!
