Editor's Notes
- SLIDE 1: COURAGE POEM Campus organizer (may) say some words and introduce facilitator
- SLIDE 2: WELCOME Welcome and introduce myself; Encourage people to come closer
- SLIDE 3: REVIEW AGENDA
- SLIDE 6: MOVIES What movies show mental illness or deal with mental illness? What movies or even television shows have you seen that were either about mental illness or a character had a mental illness? MOVIES Split (Dissociative Identity) Little Miss Sunshine (Depression) Black Swan (Schizophrenia/Eating) American Psycho (Borderline) Silver Linings Playbook (Bipolar Disorder, OCD) Girl, Interrupted (Borderline) As Good As It Gets (OCD) A Beautiful Mind (Schizophrenia) Jacob’s Ladder (PTSD) It’s A Wonderful Life (Depression) Me, Myself, & Irene (Dissociative Identity) TV SHOWS 13 Reasons Why (Depression/Suicide) Legion (Schizophrenia) Empire (Bipolar Disorder) Big Bang Theory (OCD) Monk (OCD)
- SLIDE 7: REPRESENTATION Think about the characters in the films you shared, what are some adjectives you’d use to describe those characters, how have the characters been portrayed? We see a lot of extremes here, ie. Really special, genius, gifted or really problematic, dangerous, violent, unpredictable. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 1 in 5 of us, 20% of us will have a diagnosable mental illness this year. 42.5 million Americans have a mental illness. Consider how these labels and how mental illness is portrayed in the media influence us. How do they make us feel about ourselves? About the people around us?
- SLIDE 8: MENTAL HEALTH Mental Health is a big topic, like physical health, it can include so many different things. Today, we’ll be exploring two topics that fall under the umbrella of Mental Health, mental illness and mental wellness.
- SLIDE 9: MENTAL ILLNESS Let’s work together to craft a definition of mental illness according to our own thoughts. For us in this room at this workshop we don’t need clinical definitions or wikipedia definitions. This is about how do we as individuals and as a group define it and important to our definition is also what it feels like for us. So what is mental illness to you? How would you define it?
- SLIDE 10: MENTAL WELLNESS Now that we have defined mental illness, what is mental wellness? What are some mental wellness practices? How does mental wellness relate to mental illness? Can you have a mental illness and still be mentally well? Helping think about themselves as more than a disease. 5 in 5 of us have mental health, it is a universal experience, that influences all aspects of our lives, and whether we have a diagnosable mental illness or not, our mental health is something we can agree we need to be aware of, nourish, take care of, and understand.
- SLIDE 12: WHAT IS STIGMA? What the film is addressing is stigma. We know stigma exists and we talk a lot about it in relation to mental illness, but how would you really define it? Let’s discuss for a moment what is stigma to us? How is stigma different from stereotype? Is stigma ever positive? Is stigma ever true? Does stigma only apply to mental illness? Are there other examples of areas we might experience stigma? (e.g. medical conditions, identity, sexual preferences etc.) Unlike stereotypes which can be negative or sometimes positive, stigma is always negative. Stigma is also false always false. Yet, stigma is easily internalized, which means that it is easy for us to start to believe the messages, thoughts, and feelings that are projected onto us by stigma. Stigma can be experienced in a number of ways, and not solely related to mental illness…
- SLIDE 13: HOW DOES STIGMA FEEL? Knowing that this is something we have all experienced in some shape or form, how does stigma feel? Stigma has a huge impact on our lives and experiences. Stigma makes us feel bad about ourselves. Stigma defines someone as only one aspect of who we are. Stigma creates a barrier to our ability access support and resources. Stigma creates barriers to understanding. So talking about mental illness and listening to each other with compassion is an incredibly powerful way to battle stigma. So, on that note, let’s watch another film!
- SLIDE 14: THREE Gladys is our November 2013 competition winner. The filmmaker, Jessica, is a social worker and wanted to convey a story that she kept hearing about the Latino experience after moving to US. As you watch the film I encourage you all to be aware of how the film makes you feel and what the film makes you think. What we feel and what we think are not always the same or in alignment, and our feelings and our thoughts communicate really important messages to us. So try to be aware of them as you watch the film, if you want to jot down notes to yourself, you are more than welcome. We’ll break into groups afterwards to discuss. (Show Film)
- SLIDE 15: GROUPS OF TWO Invite audience to divide into groups of three or four, allow 5 minutes for discussion before coming back together. Turn to your neighbour and discuss what did you think and what did you feel? We will come back together in a few minutes to share and discuss together.
- SLIDE 16: GROUP SHARE Can provide an example of a thought and/or feeling to get the group started. (Live document responses, paraphrasing and summarizing.)
- SLIDE 17: FILM
- SLIDE 18: GROUPS OF THREE Invite audience to divide into groups of three or four, allow 5 minutes for discussion before coming back together. This time I also want you to think about and discuss what have you learned? What have you learned about yourself?
- SLIDE 19: GROUP SHARE Live document responses, paraphrasing and summarizing
- SLIDE 20: STILL HERE
- SLIDE 21: LARGE GROUP For the final film we are just going to share together.
- SLIDE 22: GROUP SHARE Transition directly into large group responses, no small group discussions
- SLIDE 23: WHAT CAN I DO? Thank you all for participating in discussion. After having these conversations and processing new and/or complicated information we can feel a little lost. You might be feeling like you should talk with someone about your own feelings. Or maybe you are still feeling disconnected or worried that others might not understand what you or someone you know is going through. So we want to provide concrete and personal opportunities to engage and continue this discussion. We are fortunate enough to have students here to share their stories, experts from your campus, and mental health professionals/ resources in your community here today to inform you of ways you can support your mental health, and those around you. In addition, after the panel, I will tell you all about ways you can engage with Art With Impact just before we close out.
- SLIDE 24: PANEL At this time I invite our panelists to come up. In the meantime will hand out evaluation surveys which are really valuable to us for improving our programming and keeping it relevant. They will also assist your school in knowing how to better serve you. Moderate the Panel Q&A Invite students to ask questions to panelists while monitoring time. Possible questions: Was there anyone you received support from that you were surprised by or initially nervous about sharing your mental health concerns? How do you manage your symptoms in your day-to-day life now? What is something great about your life today as a result of you seeking help and taking care of yourself? Who might benefit from coming to counseling? What would you say to someone who is nervous about coming to counseling because they think their counselor might not understand their identity or experiences? Do you provide psychiatric services? What is the process for someone who believes they might need medication? Encourage students to view booths or resource tables before leaving. Close out the panel and give (or have volunteer hand-out) panelist thank you gifts.
- SLIDE 25: AMBASSADORS Before you all leave, us I want to invite you all to continue the conversation in one more way. AWI exists to create a community of students, artists, advocates, who want to have these conversations...if you’re interested in staying in touch with us and becoming a part of a larger community of students across N. America who believe in the power of art to subvert stigma, we have fliers on the table and a sign-up list here if you’re interested in learning more. You can also join our FB group just type in AWI Ambassadors in the search menu. We are also collecting Impact Videos! So if you were impacted by participating in the workshop and have a few minutes to spare. I (or volunteer) will be recording just short 1 minute clips of your reactions to the workshop!
- SLIDE 26: THANK YOU, KEEP IN TOUCH You are also welcome to contact us with feedback, comments, or questions. I have business cards on the table if you would like to contact me directly. Follow us on social media @artwithimpact And we encourage you to submit a film to our monthly competition! I’ll be here after if you have any questions for me specifically or again if you would like to make an impact video! Thank you all for being a part of this workshop, I hope that you left with more than you came.
