MENTAL HEALTH

● 13 Reasons Why
● Rain Man
● Girl Gone
● Lucifer
● Silver Linings Playbook
● Split
● Shameless

● Midsommar

Characters with mental illness are
portrayed as…
● Gloriﬁed in some cases
● Weak
● A problem to be dealt with
● Loud, violent
● Vulnerable
● Eccentric
● Scared, sad, lonely
● Insensitive
● Attention Seeking
● Unstable or Dangerous
● “Crazy”

MH ACROSS CULTURES
● It is put on the backburner in my experience
● Seen as a phase that will pass with time
● Living in rural areas people avoid mental health, or classify you as “crazy”
● Christians/Church often portrayed as weakness or a lack of faith
● High standards
● Growing up anxieties I had I was told to ignore it and “act my age”
● A lot of people let society and social media have an inﬂuence on their
mental health
● Our society does not prioritize mental wellness
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?

SOCH - Supporting Our Community’s
Mental Health
By Varundeep Singh Chawla
AWI Winner, January 2020
Content heads up:
anxiety, depiction of panic attack

What did you think? How did you feel?
● I related to it
● The child asking “are you okay mom” was really powerful
● The way everything got loud, and she got dizzy in the ice cream shop was
relatable
● I felt connected to the sense of urgency for the mother
● I feel uneasy, as someone who struggles with horrible anxiety attacks, I feel
for her because I know how hard it can be
● I related to how she kept focusing on the people coming in
● There is power in this ﬁlm. It shared and taught about how anxiety can
show up about anything
● The sound score was so effective, I could feel what she was feeling

What are some practices that help
support your wellness?
● Downtime from screens
● Self-reﬂection
● Removing myself to breathe
● I have to pre-plan and write out a list so I don’t feel overwhelmed
● Set a small goal and try to meet it
● Listening to music and taking a break
● Focus on the facts that are real and present around me, rather than
anxious “what if” thoughts
● Getting enough sleep
