MENTAL HEALTH

MENTAL HEALTH

Some movies and TV shows that
show mental illness…
● Good Will Hunting
● Grand Army
● BoJack Horseman
● Normal People
● Shameless
● Silver Linings Playbook
● This Is Us
● Perks of being a Wallﬂower
● 13 Reasons Why

Characters with mental illness are
portrayed as…
● LOTS of negative self-talk, isolation
● Withdrawn from their typical social activities
● Sometimes weaker
● Violent
● Dramatically
● Unstable and isolated
● Uncontrollable, somewhat a burden on family

MH ACROSS CULTURES
● Stigmatized
● Seen as taboo
● Don’t talk about it
● Suck it up
● My mother is a therapist so it was very open and accepted
● Seen as a sign of weakness
● Parents don’t exactly understand and they think it’s an
excuse
Across different cultures and languages, people talk about
and explore mental health in multiple ways. In just a few
words, please share: How have you experienced the concept
of "mental health" within your own cultural communities?

Staging Face
By Asterix Media
Voices With Impact 2020
Content heads up:
discussion of depression, anxiety, transphobia, misgendering

What did you think? How did you feel?
● Especially after international women’s day yesterday when so many people excluded
trans folk from their feminism, this made me think about how yesterday must have
affected trans folk’s mental illness.
● It was heavy
● Deﬁnitely heavy, very real
● I felt the cinematography drew us in, it was foreboding
● Feeling grateful to learn about their stories
● What stood out to me what when one of the people in the ﬁlm said that people don't
take him seriously when he uses he/him pronouns because he doesn’t try to look
"masculine"
● I felt empathetic

What are some practices that help
support your wellness?
● Positive self-talk
● Reﬂection with others
● Listening to music or podcasts!
● Meditating and exercising
● Positive affirmations
● Having an understanding support system
● Be mindful
● Taking time to be present
● “Wonderful” podcast on Spotify is uplifting and easy to listen to.
● Patience with ourselves

Mia’s Story
By Vicki Kisner
AWI Winner, March 2017
CONTENT HEADS UP
depiction of depression and anxiety

WHERE DID YOU EXPERIENCE
THIS IN YOUR BODY?
A Head

B
D
E
Shoulders
Somewhere
else
I didn’t feel it in
my body
Belly

What did you think? How did you feel?
● Felt it in my chest and heart
● I felt encouraged at the end
● Heaviness in my body
● Deﬁnitely hopeful at the end, could feel the build up
● Sadness
● Her crying face in that close-up was very powerful
● I appreciated that the friend normalized the experience of
having depression for her and reachingo ut to help her get
support
● I think when yuo’re in it it’s hard to know that you are not
alone. I also appreciated the friend.
● As a therapist, I love the encouraging depiction of getting
help but also feel pulled to hold that some folks don’t have
great experiences/can be harmed by seeking help, too!

How can we support ourselves and
others?
● Listen without trying to solve everything
● Educating ourselves and community and being aware that
every mental health experience is not the same.
● Active listening
● Checking in on friends and family and offering to hold space
for them
● Recognize that sometimes feeling okay and being okay may
be different. Expressing ourselves, even if you don’t know the
solution.
● Being a listener if you can, try to express yourself so that
others can understand.
