Editor's Notes
- Campus organizer (may) introduce facilitator Brief introduction – welcome, name Encourage people to come closer Connect with us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter and document this event - we’d love to see your photos!
- LESLIE Brief agenda review: - will give you a brief summary of AWI (THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION) - set the stage together, which really means that as a group we’ll have a discussion and provide a context for the topics (INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE) - we have four short films from our library to show you, together we’ll discuss the themes - Make it personal with a panel of campus and community resources to connect you with (RESOURCES THAT ARE CLOSE AND ACCESSIBLE TO YOU) - You’ll be doing most of the talking today! Mention photos - if you would prefer not to have your face in photos please inform us after the event
- LESLIE Who is AWI? - we are a charity dedicated to reducing the stigma of mental illness with transition-aged youth, work in regions throughout North America - we have been working primarily in California since 2011 and in the last year and a half expanded to three areas of Canada, as well as the New England area in the U.S. (if applicable) - We host an ongoing monthly short film competition where filmmakers anywhere in the world can submit a film on the topic of mental health, these are juried and monthly winners receive $1,000 cash prize (will tell you more about that at the end of our time together) - We then take these winning films and facilitate discussions in our postsecondary Movies for Mental Health program (you’ll see what this is all about today) and run a high school program that teaches media literacy to youth and allows them to make their own short films on mental health - Also a part of a larger global community, release blogs twice a week on feature length films, or film festivals related to themes of mental illness Brought to you by: PROP 63: Follow bullets; worth mentioning that each CA county can decide how to spend it and it funds programs like this one; Want to learn look it up in conjunction with the State Dept of Mental Health Finally, we’re brought here by your campus’s Student Health and Wellness Center, repped by some of our panelists. - mention any nonprofit partners or corporate sponsors
- LESLIE: Want to explain what I mean about this statement… - Mental health is personal and our experiences are different, we all come from different backgrounds and cultures – you are the experts on YOU and know yourself better than anyone else and as a college student, you each have unique experiences and pressures even though you are on the same campus. - We don’t often talk about mental health - except for mentioning that it’s important; as a society we don’t tend to talk about issues/experiences related to this theme, so sometimes we don’t know HOW to talk about these topics - sometimes it’s hard to have words that accurately state what you’re feeling. First and foremost keep yourself safe today, don’t feel compelled to share anything you’re not comfortable with. - This is a new space and you might feel ready to share but might not know what responses you’ll have, and it is a public space with no guaranteed confidentially so be mindful of the space that we are in before you disclose. - Some of the films might be triggering, meaning they might elicit an emotional reaction. The films are very powerful and it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed, so take the time you need to re-group and be present here. I encourage you to take note of how you’re feeling and investigate that / nurture that after the workshop. We have counsellors in the room today that are here to help you if you need to step out (say names of counsellors, have them raise their hands in the audience).
- PAUL: Pre-slide: With that in mind, let’s get started by providing a context and setting the stage for the messages we receive in the media. Ask Q: What movies show mental illness or deal with mental illness?
- PAUL: 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, really problematic 1 in 5 of us, 20% of us have a diagnosable mental illness, consider how these labels influence us. (Optional to save until next slides)
- PAUL: Mental Health is a big topic, and can include so many different things. Today, we’ll be exploring two topics that fall under the umbrella of Mental Health.
- PAUL: We use the term often, let’s work together to craft definitions according to your thoughts For us in this room at this workshop it doesn’t matter what anyone says, we don’t need clinical definitions but how do we define and what does it feel like for us.
- PAUL: 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, something we can agree we need to nourish and take care of, influences all aspects of our lives.
- PAUL: Show here: More Than A Mental Illness - Sharon is a 19yo Student at University of Toroto. nto. She is Ghanaian and just moved to Toronto last year. She has battled with depression herself and wanted to portray that it doesn’t only affect women, and also that it impacts people of colour. This is her first film about mental illness. This is a biopic of a student attending California University Of San Marcos, her name Olivia DePaul she suffers with Mental Health issues like stress and anxiety. This only a small part of her story, our mission when filming this biopic was to help anyone suffering with Mental Health issue. Segue theme of film – stigma- into next slide
- LESLIE: What the film really addressed here 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? Discuss stereotypes v. stigma - stereotypes can be negative or positive, stigma is always negative Stigma is false Stigma easily internalized and we believe them about ourselves Ie. all girls are bad at sports v. all boys are good at sports (neither is true but one is positive) Stigma can be experienced in a number of ways, and not solely related to mental illness…
- LESLIE: Knowing that this is something we have all experienced in some shape or form, how does stigma feel? Comments/ Questions that can be added about stigma specifically: - stigma creates barriers to understanding - stigma defines someone as only one aspect of who they are, when this label doesn’t fit who you are it’s a frustrating feeling - If someone mentions stereotypes; difference between stereotypes and stigma is stereotypes can be positive or negative, sometimes funny, however stigma is always negative and feels awful, dehumanizing - There are various types of stigma – cultural and self-stigma; this can snowball and create really negative experiences - Believing the self-stigma (and it’s completely human to do so) can be dangerous when we internalize, become very hard on ourselves. - It’s not a true/false, it’s a societal construct - Impact of stigma in accessing resources (what is?) Segue into films: We are here today taking the first step by talking about these experiences, learning through films to combat stigma and learn from one another. These feelings, these byproducts of being stigmatized is why it’s so important to have these supportive and compassionate conversations / listening to one another is an incredibly powerful way to battle stigma We’re fighting the feelings that stigma brings out in humans that makes people feel they can’t reach out, can’t get help...really hard to break through. This is something that we can work together to fight. So, on that note, let’s watch the first film!
- LESLIE: In an academic environment it can be challenging to discuss feelings and emotions where thoughts are more abstract, but encourage students to challenge themselves Feelings represent important feedback and it’s important to listen to them. Turn to your neighbours in small groups and discuss these questions, we will come back together in a few minutes. Communicate a signal for getting students’ attention?
- LESLIE: Can provide an example of a thought and/or feeling to get the group started. Live document responses, paraphrasing and summarizing
- PAUL: Invite audience to divide into groups again (maybe encourage new groups?), allow 5 minutes for discussion before coming back together.
- PAUL: Live document responses, paraphrasing and summarizing
- Invite audience to divide into groups again (maybe encourage new groups?), allow 5 minutes for discussion before coming back together.
- Transition directly into large group responses, no small group discussions
- PAUL: Thank audience for participation. After having these conversations and processing new and/or complicated information we can feel a little lost, and here is when we want to provide concrete opportunities to engage and continue this discussion. We don’t often talk this in-depth, we have people here for you to help digest this information and provide information about services. Fortunate enough to have students sharing stories, panelist 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. Will tell you about ways you can engage with us (AWI) just before we break for good.
- Now will invite our panelists to come up, and in the meantime will hand out evaluations which are really valuable to us for improving our programming and keeping it relevant. Will also assist your school in knowing how to better serve you. Moderate the panel discussion – Introduce all panelists when inviting them up. Students typically speaking first (check in with them to ensure this is okay for them), indicate which panelist will speak next throughout. Q&A Invite students to ask questions to panelists while monitoring time. 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
- LESLIE: 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
- PAUL (OR LESLIE) Add personalized email to slide or info@artwithimpact.org Mention ways students can reach out, contact us with feedback or comments. Encourage film submissions – we’d love to see your films, competition is ongoing We are on many forms of social media, reach out! We have a sign-up list here if you’re interested in learning about other events and workshops, reading our blogs, etc. I’ll be here if you have any questions for me specifically. Thank the group again and close out discussion
