This part of the Healthy Ageing project was mainly driven by the Warrington NHS Mental Health Promotion team, who used the DVD in conjunction with Social Services in a pilot that ran during Summer 2008, to assess and promote awareness of depression in older people.

The film proved a great success and they now plan to include it in their training programmes, so hopefully it will continue to prove a useful tool in raising awareness of this horrible illness.

As a bonus, the film was screened as part of the One in Four film festival at UCLAN, in October 2008 and was well received.
