MENTAL HEALTH

Mental illness
Mental wellness
MENTAL HEALTH

Some movies and TV shows that
show mental illness…
euphoria
Falcon in the Winter soldier
13 reasons why
Wandavision!
Grey's Anatomy
whats eating gilbert grape
The Resident
Big Mouth
New Amsterdam
It's Kind of a Funny Story

Characters with mental illness are
portrayed as…
unhinged
generally exaggerated for affect
Not Functioning
dramatically
unnatrual
Unstable
conﬂicted
not successful
Psychotic
"crazy" and/or "dramatic"
at a disadvantage
romanticised

How have you experienced the concept of "mental
health" within your own cultural communities?
had a professor in graduate school that said, "crazy isn't the
person with obvious symptoms and a dx getting help... it's the
person with obvious symptoms and is critical of the help
another is getting, that is not getting help for themselves!"
As a Black and Latino person, (specifically Jamaican & Puerto
Rican) the elders in my two cultures often tell me to "pray"it
away, which we all know is not enough.
Honestly we don't talk about it (I'm first-gen/German), none of
my family has ever acknowledged their own mental health
struggles or those of anyone else - I speak German fluently
and I don't even know what words I would use to talk about
mental health/illness

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

Beyond Words
By Sharon Nyarko
AWI Winner, May 2017
CONTENT HEADS UP
depression, suicidal ideation,
image implying suicide by hanging

What did you think?
How did you feel?
it resonated with me
Just reminds me of how much depression can
affect yourself and others and people saying
those things can actually trigger them to self
harm/ do more
it made me feel like i wish these conversations
happened more often and we didn't shy away
from them

What are some practices that help
support
your wellness?
Having deep convos with friends
Journaling
:I speak to my therapist every week, self care
such as a walk or doing something i enjoy
telling the people I really love, that I love them
and how I appreciate them
Cleaning my space helps me to motivate
myself to also work on things internally as
well and try to declutter the insides of my
brain
Running helps in giving me a mental break

discussion of depression, anxiety, transphobia, misgendering

WHERE DID YOU EXPERIENCE
THIS IN YOUR BODY?
A Head
C
B
D
E
Shoulders
Somewhere
else
I didn’t feel it in
my body
Belly

What did you think?
How did you feel?
it never ceases to amaze me how mean some
people can be to others
I thought that it showed the comlexity of the
person and their redemption
It makes you realize how some people have to
live very difficult lives for just being
themselves and it isn't fair
The intersectionalities of the person

How can we support ourselves and
others?
listen to people, let them vent, offer resources
IF they ask, don't judge and be
compassionate
Have those hard conversations and bring
awareness
:Be mindful of your emotions
Listen when people open up to you, dont just
wait for your turn to talk
LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN
Don't discount your feelings or the feelings of
others
model self empathy to others, esp children
