- 15. What did you think? What did you feel? Thoughts Nice that her friend gave her resources Important that mom was there Person didn’t minimalize it-- they believed her Hard to admit to yourself that you need help Instead of help you can get criticism Friend stayed present even though Mia lashed out Oversimplified Feelings Felt relatable, but it looked easy--not always End felt hopeful Felt when she was crying Appreciated that it was a black person Wished there was a relationship with mother like that
- 16. How did the filmmaking techniques help tell the story? Tear going into bigger pool - images Silence in the pictures - very alone in her own world Close up on her face in therapy - very intimate Acting Sound during argument - couldn’t even hear friend Alone in playground - loneliness Headphones - blocking everything in and out Color #Movies4MentalHealth
- 17. The Chair By Kat Roman and Sean Sonnenburg AWI Winner, August 2017 #Movies4MentalHealth
- 18. Discuss in groups of three… • What did you think? • What did you feel? #Movies4MentalHealth
- 19. What did you think? What did you feel? Thoughts She looks like she’s inside the house with an ax to take her power back The chair symbolizes her abuse -- destroy the chair and destroy the abuser Showed a cycle of violence What support did she have? Abusers aren’t always seen as abuser Abusers don’t necessarily have mi, but people w/ mi are often victimized Feelings Empathy -- championed for her when she was destroying the chair, concerned when she was in the house--will she now be violent? Is ok to be violent if you say you’re mentally ill? Felt furious, was okay with images
- 20. Why don’t people get help? Fear Embarassment Isolation Shame Ignorance Lack of support Guilt - believe it’s their fault Don’t want others to get in trouble Sympathy for abuser - trying to protect Afraid children might get taken victim blaming Might not have anywhere to go--lack of resource Hope things will be different Resources taken away Religion #Movies4MentalHealth
- 21. Sal Tran By Kim Huynh AWI Winner, March 2018 #Movies4MentalHealth
- 22. Responses and Reactions? #Movies4MentalHealth Very helpful Very affirming Powerful to hear that sometimes days can be bad, but you can keep going powerful to see someone who has similar gender expression Humbled that they shared their story--needs to be told Very raw Feeling triggered -- never feels better to hear the story Affirming to see pain put into art -- expression Inspiring to other people to get help Knowing what to do
- 23. What can we do? Be allies to communities that are at high risk - LISTEN TO THEM Allowing yourself to heal Tell your story Tell people how you’re feeling Listen to someone - don’t tell them what to do, don’t try to fix them Be patient with yourself - listen to yourself and your body Reward yourself Massages! Crotchet, jewelry Chiropraticor Nature Get still/Be still Acupressure Buy yourself a little somethin’ somethin’ Don’t take it personal Allow people to let their guard down--reassure them Ignore criticism -- cut out negativity Wellness Recovery Action Plan #Movies4MentalHealth
