Filmmaker Cecily Tyler produced a short film about the DMH Solomon Carter Fuller Community Mental Health Center for the global video project One Day on Earth.
It was 2010 when filmmaker Cecily Tyler met Vincent Moy, Director of Rehabilitation Services at DMH's Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center, and offered to volunteer under his guidance. Vincent had been part of a team of staff at the Fuller Mental Health Center to execute a vision for persons served there: to have a healing garden, an art therapy division, a pet therapy program and sensory rooms. The goal was dignity and respect for individuals staying at the Fuller and the creative guidance that came together rose above the normal everyday duties of staff. Cecily was witness to fruits of their efforts.

The film showcases how mental health facilities can integrate broader wellness practices into traditional treatment settings. Distributed statewide, it helped promote best practices across psychiatric hospitals and care providers. The project demonstrates the role of storytelling in advancing healthcare innovation.
