MENTAL HEALTH

MENTAL HEALTH

Some movies and TV shows that
show mental illness…
Chicago Med
A Beautiful Mind
soul
To the bone
I am Maris
Ginny and Georgia
Silver Linings Playbook
Fleabag
BoJack Horseman
Hillbilly Elegy
Modern Love
Ordinary People

Characters with mental illness are
portrayed as…
Potentially violent or up/down all the time
Violent or aggressive
Either as villains or as normal people sometimes
unhinged
Romanticized
Troubled, dramatic, loved, unlovable, sad, humorous
alienated
Narcissistic, rebellious
Some true, some false

How have you experienced the concept of
"mental health" within your own cultural
communities?
You are lazy or weak
As something shameful
my family we talk about it, my in laws family "its all
in your head"
Openly in my family
As a stigma that couldn’t happen in our family
It's either not talked about or it is clinical talk
(medically related but not humanized)
Supported in my experience - most aren't as lucky
TW(invalidation, emotional ab*se): It isn't
recognized and actively invalidated and is seen
solely as dramatic and is used to belittle you

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

CONTENT HEADS UP
anxiety, intensity of sound and visuals

What did you think?
How did you feel?
Wonderful picture of anxiety! Wow.
I found myself holding my
breath watching it
It was beautifully made.
I felt myself tense up. I also felt
that it was relatable and
accurate
A bit anxious with how accurate the
feelings were to what I've personally
experienced during a panic attack.

What are some practices that help
support your wellness?
journaling , talking to trusted friends
Go to a calm place and just relax
movement, journaling, calming scents
Music helps me too!
aromatherapy
music
being outside

CONTENT HEADS UP
discussion of anxiety, depression

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?
tightness
tension and tightness
“Please don’t suffer alone, someone will listen” - hit
me hard and is SO powerful!
That can be hard to believe sometimes
when you’re in it
If we support the people around us when
we're feeling good, when we don't feel
good, there will be support there for us
Empathy, inspiration

How can we support ourselves and
others?
Put your mental health ﬁrst
just show up-for yourself and others
movement, journaling, calming scents
Being open, honest and not letting stigma rule your
life
Taking care of yourself so that you can be there for
others to listen
Pay attention to what is being said and unsaid by your family,
friends, peers, students. Don't be too busy to notice those around
you
Verbally asking what someone needs ie if they want/need to talk about
it or if they need distractions, etc.
Sometimes being a listening ear is all someone needs
Mental health is a daily practice, not just in the low moments
listen when they say they are worried about you. Sometimes you
don't see what is happening but they can.
sometimes u just need a hug
