- 6. Stigma What is a stereotype? A judgment or stereotype that is: 1. always negative 2. always untrue 3. can be internalized
- 7. Gladys By Jessica Jones AWI Winner, November 2013
- 8. What did you notice about stigma? She felt like she couldnât or shouldnât go get help due to stigma from her culture. She was afraid of being labeled as crazy. A lot of times people donât know they need help, but what was in her way was the fear of the stigma. What her mother said about âdirty laundryâ â which she then passed along to her children: What kind of mother will that make me? She talked negatively toward herself.
- 9. How does stigma feel? Suffocating (internalized negativity) â I can never get out of it. Isolating â youâre alone Lowered self esteem Makes whatever youâre feeling worse Anxiety Ashamed Judged Sad Guilt (like youâre not doing life the way you should be)

- 14. The Gift By Steve Bastoni AWI Winner, August 2016
- 15. Discuss ⢠What did you think? ⢠What did you feel?
- 16. What did you think? What did you feel? Thoughts Interesting that itâs named The Gift and it was about the gift he gave to her, but they bettered each otherâs lives. Never know what someone is going through so always be kind. Highlights importance and power of random connection. Both at a breaking point â but it looked different â presents different in everyone (difficult to be aware). A kind gesture goes a long way â child drawing the picture. Feelings Many times people feel they are alone suffering (even cashier doing repetitive activity). Both were deep down hurting inside but we often feel we are the only ones feeling that sadness.
- 17. The Blind Stigma By Stacy-Ann Buchanan AWI Winner, May 2015
- 18. Discuss ⢠What did you think? ⢠What did you feel?
- 19. What did you think? What did you feel? Thoughts A lot of sets of people and communities that has stigma put on them â not exclusive to any one community (i.e. caregiver in the military community) Caregiverâs mental well being not discussed, just the vetâs. Question: âWhat do you have to be upset about?â Because you donât have what someone else considers stressors â what youâre feeling isnât valid. Feelings Not allowed to feelings that he has (common misconception). So try and diagnose it as something else (âIâm just having a bad day.â)
- 20. Why donât people get help? Fear of what someone may think of you. Fear of addressing things that are wrong. Might not know where to go or what resources they have (esp in a college environment â or someone not letting them know) Embarrassed because they themselves place stigma on mental health. Social stigma attached as well â last thing theyâd want is to have their friends find out (be judged or not belong). â Labeling People donât know there are free resources â assume it costs a lot of money. You know itâs not good, but you think thatâs just how it is for you. Not realizing there are names or resources for it. Wait times when people do reach out or make a call. (Extreme choices) Equivalent to âmentalâ urgent care. If I divulge will I be locked away or otherwise punished. Being denied.
- 21. Mental Health Does Not Define Me! By Roberto Morelia AWI Winner, February 2017
- 23. What can we do? Journaling Mindfulness and meditation Exercise Being in nature Listening to happy music (musicâs effect on the brain/mood) Getting a planner and planning things out Having a buddy â a trusted friend that you can talk to (even a professor) Praying â knowing one is not alone â something bigger to pour feelings out to Positive affirmations Knowing your threshold and where your limit is (when to stop and take care of yourself or not take on anymore) Being okay with letting someone down Not feeling pressured to providing an answer right then and there (take a moment) Animals

Editor's Notes
- Campus organizer (may) introduce facilitator Brief introduction â welcome, name Encourage people to come closer Connect with us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter and document this event - weâd love to see your photos!
- Brief agenda review: - will give you a brief summary of AWI - set the stage together, which really means that as a group weâll have a discussion and provide a context for the topics - we have four short films from our library to show you, together weâll discuss the themes - Make it personal with a panel of campus and community resources to connect you with - Youâll 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
- 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 in the US and Canada since 2011 - 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 (youâll 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: - mention any nonprofit partners or corporate sponsors
- 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 â you are the experts on YOU and know yourself better than anyone else. We donât often talk about mental health; as a society we donât tend to talk about issues/experiences related to this theme, so sometimes we donât know HOW to talk about these topics. First and foremost keep yourself safe today, donât feel compelled to share anything youâre not comfortable with. This is a new space and you might feel ready to share but might not know what responses youâll have, and it is a public space with no guaranteed confidentiality 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. Itâs ok to feel! But if you ever feel that you are not OK, or unsafe, please do what you need to do to take care of yourself. 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).
- FIRST - ask for one or two people to define âstereotype.â Really just one or two - NOT a big discussion. THEN, name that stigma and stereotype are often used interchangeably, but stigma has a few distinct qualities. Quick definition. Provide a little explanation of the third point - we can take in these judgments and believe them about ourselves, even though theyâre untrue. For example, if everyone tells me that having depression is just being lazy, itâs possible that I could start to believe that myself, that Iâm just lazy and donât need to seek support. Do a quick check to see if everyone gets it and is on board - again, not a big discussion, but a âthumbs upâ check or see if theyâre generally nodding
- 15 minutes into the workshop
- Can close this slide by naming that yes, stigma can be a huge negative aspect of our experience, but itâs not permanent. Through conversations like these, and by sharing our truths, we can change stigma, and reduce it, and ultimately, get rid of it entirely.
- 25 minutes into the workshop Introduce ways that AWI holds some concepts around MH - these may change over time, terms are evolving. Quick slide: We see mental health as an umbrella in that it is something that we are all existing under, and experiencing. Mental health can include many aspects of life. Itâs our internal way of seeing the world, and something we all have and experience. Like physical health, we all have mental health, and things within and outside of ourselves can affect our mental health. Things outside of the MH umbrella, like culture, spirituality, physical health, support systems, etc. can affect our MH. Thereâs lots of intersectionality and influences when it comes to MH. There can be embedded and systemic influences (such as histories of oppression, privilege, access to services) and other components that influence the way we as individuals experience MH.
- MI and MW are concepts that fall under the umbrella of MH. MI can be defined as when uncontrollable things happening within you and/or influenced by other things get in the way of you living the life you want to live. This can arise from trauma or be circumstantial, and can also be influenced by genetics and biology. Mental illness diagnoses are helpful for some, and for others provide more of a shared language. MI may differ between how society defines it and how we define it for ourselves. MW means feeling âwellâ - however you define it - in your mind and spirit. It can include practices and behaviors that support you and help you feel and be your best self. Like physical health, it requires maintenance. We donât hold these as opposites - you can have symptoms of a mental illness, and engage in mental wellness practices. You can also not have symptoms of a MI, but still not be mentally well, if you donât have ways of supporting your internal (and external) self.
- Can close up this slide by saying yes, media portrayals are overall negative, but there are artists and filmmakers out there making films that can change this. Many of our films are made by people with lived experience, and share their genuine truths.

- ***CAN SKIP SLIDE IF RUNNING LOW ON TIME*** Ideally, you will be able to use this slide, as it can lead to a great discussion about stigma, and how different stigmas (and other factors) can keep people from seeking support. If you think youâre running out of time, try to prompt this question in the previous âthoughts / feelingsâ slide so itâs at least touched on, even if you donât use this slide.
- 1 hour and 5 minutes into the workshop
- This slide is to give space to discussing the last film, but isnât an in-depth thoughts/feelings slide. It should be a group conversation (not small groups), and just take a few peopleâs reactions to the film. Depending on time, you might need to move on quickly, but if you have time, feel free to let this be an open discussion about the film.
- From what weâve learned - actions we may be drawn to take. Be sure to encourage responses that relate to what we can do as friends, family members, and community members of people with MI, AND ALSO make sure they address what we can do for ourselves, i.e. mental wellness practices.
- 1 hour and 20 minutes into the workshop âNow will invite our panelists to come up. We will hear from the students, sharing their personal stories. Weâre so grateful for their courage in sharing their stories! We will also hear from resources on-campus and in the community. After the panelists all speak, you will have a chance to ask the panel any questions you have. If you need to leave early, please do so respectfully, and please make sure to fill out an evaluation before you leave. This information is super helpful for us in making sure we and your school are serving your needs as well as we can. We will also pass these out at the end of the workshop.â **Applause for panelists!** They will then speak in order of how they are in the slide. At the end, you will invite questions from the audience.
