In the clips below, Aida’s community & family respond to the film, Feeling The Void.

This dialogue exemplifies a shift in what’s possible in how we can approach mental health as a community.

“It feels wrong for me to say that this was an amazing, blessed experience. You know? You’re not supposed to say that.”

-Scott, Aida’s Father

“There’s so much value in being able to approach a situation like that with the capacity to perceive it as many different possible things. And how that opens up other avenues of treatment that are a lot more beneficial.”

-Pipper, Aida’s Friend

“There’s something about how elusive and slippery all of our grasp on what we call reality is… and my own fear about just how fragile it is…”

-Rando, Aida’s Friend
