Role of Volunteers in Mental Hospitals Told in "Human Side" v; Tlif Human Side, a new film showing how volunteers in mental hospitals contribute to the recovery of patients, has been acquired for national distribution by the Mental Health Materials Center. This unusual 24-minute film was photographed on location at Willmar State Hospital. Minnesota, where some 122 volunteers and several staff members of the hospital played their own roles or those of patients. Chief aim of the film is to show the patient as the volunteer sees him and works with him — an individual in need of undemanding friendliness. The film illustrates that the volunteer is not just another "pair of hands'" on the hospital staff. He has a unique function; as a person from the busy world outside the protective walls of the hospital, the volunteer brings to the patient a sense of contact with the community and a fresh interest in daily living. The Human Side is intended for the general public. It will help to develop better understanding of the mentally ill. will demonstrate the services provided to patients in hospitals and will stimulate interest in becoming a volunteer worker in a mental hospital.
