About The Friendship Bench Documentary
When community loses hope, grandmothers take action. This documentary tells the story of The Friendship Bench, an initiative by psychiatrist Dr Dixon Chibanda to address Zimbabwe’s growing mental health crisis. With few trained professionals in the country, he trained grandmothers (Gogos) in cognitive therapy to treat depression on public benches, an idea that has grown into a global movement. Followed by a panel discussion hosted by University of Glasgow's School of Health & Wellbeing.
