Brief summary

Detailed description
This study's goal is to find out whether 6 weekly sessions of watching certain TV series or movies in a group setting, augmented through education from ThinkHuman TV about emotions and coping with emotions embedded in the process of watching (with a discussion leader), will improve the resilience of mental health patients enrolled in a long-term community mental health center. This will be tested by comparing ThinkHuman TV augmented movies with watching moving in a group without ThinkHuman TV educational activities to see if there is better improvement in resilience and well-being of the group participants who have THinkHuman included as compared to those who do not.
