MH ACROSS CULTURES
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?
● seen as a weakness and something you should hide
● Always a risk to be frank, but no other way to de-stigmatize it.
● MH is important and signiﬁcant, even if difficult to see and/or talk about
● stigma
● Not Real
● I try to be really open about my own mental health. Overexpressing myself
to friends and online has helped me gain a lot of helpful connections.
● Catholic/ Native ideas of the devil or spirits
● Fear
● t's talked about in my family and culture when an uncle committed suicide.
I too am Catholic
● In my circle it's something often discussed and seen as something people
experience, but outside my circle it's not as accepted
● Mental health was something that you could experience if you followed
the faith, but it was expected that you would be "empty" without it
● Totally agree with Gabriel's comment about my religious upbringing
● Get out of bed and shower nd do something with your life

WHAT IS STIGMA?
A judgment or stereotype that is:
○ Always negative
○ Always untrue
○ Can be internalized

and made to feel guilty about something that

● Shame and avoiding everyone

What makes it difficult to
reach out for help?
● shame embarrasment
● fear

The Beautiful Black Man
Calvin Walker
AWI Winner, August 2020
CONTENT HEADS UP
intergenerational trauma, cultural and
structural racism, self-harm, images of slavery

What did you think?
How did you feel?
● Unfairness, anger
● sad confusion guilt
● "You don't have to hurt yourself to make people love you"
● Sadness
● Sadness
● pain, heaviness
● powerful expression of the painful side of the black identity
● Insecurities/racism forcing others to hide who they are.
● Deep sadness,
● Sadness. not wanting to be changed, like the woman that said I
don't want you to be hurting yourself
● I don't know who of us expects the world to love us, but to believe
that it's IMPOSSIBLE would be a horrible burden mentally and
emotionally.
● hoplessness

What are some practices that help
support your wellness?
● Self acceptance
● Having an honest conversation with people you trust
● I insist that having a mind that is broken in one way does not
negate my worth.
● breathwork, intentionality
● This probably isn't the healthiest but when I'm feeling really
anxious I love watching horror movies. Having a way to purge
those feelings and direct them towards something helps.
● Communiting with family and friends daily
● It is a CONTINUAL insistence.
● talking about feelings
● : Talking out my feelings and its really hard. Crying when talking.
I'm not broken and I'm worth something
