about the mental health of children for professionals and the general public too. During the next 30 minutes we're going to show you some revealing parts of these films. Here is Walter Clark of the National Clearinghouse for Mental Health Information to tell you about the first group of film segments.

You've just seen a few frames from films dealing with the mental health of children. These films were designed to help children survive emotionally and a world dominated not too successfully by a dog. The film clips you are about to see were taken from films that fall into about three categories.

The first group was taken from films designed to be used by teachers in the classroom to help children say how they feel about things that happen around them. The idea is if children can learn to express their feelings freely then perhaps they will be able to cope more successfully later on.

For instance our exes in the field films of this time. Nice shot, DJ Fuzz. We have chosen to call this type of film, stimulus films. I don't feel like it. I just don't feel like it now.
