- 14. #Movies4MentalHealth #Movies4MentalHealth If English is not your first language, does your language have words for mental health, mental illness and mental wellness? Do these concepts exist in your home culture? MH Across Languages and Cultures ● In Indian culture, there is a lot of spiritual practices associated with calming the mind and being whole and content ● Not talked about in latin culture much ● in my Spanish culture, mental health isn't spoken about ● I speak Spanish and at least in my community, discussions around mental health are usually avoided. ● in Russian, there are words for specific diagnoses, but my experience is that colloquially, people use degrading terms such as "crazy" ● other than English I speak Spanish and mental health is not a topic that is taken seriously. ● Not much in Vietnamese culture, many parents think its just a phase ● It's stigmatized when people are not mentally healthy... people avoid talking about it ● I remember reading somewhere that in many Asian cultures, there aren't really words for mental health/depression. And it can come out in different ways such as aches and pains. When I spoke about to my parents, they would deny that depression exists. They do typically call people "crazy" or "sick" when they exhibit nontypical behaviors associated with mental health issues. ● I am American, and hear about other families openly talking about things, but my family has never talked about mental health or acknowledged any issues. My parents were both only children from military families.

- 16. #Movies4MentalHealth#Movies4MentalHealth Characters with mental illness are portrayed as… ● unstable ● tormented ● troubled ● stigmatized ● unsuccessful ● helpless ● used as a cheap plot device ● seen as abberent and different ● Stereotyped ● Typically they're shown to the extreme ● violent ● broken ● paranoid and broken ● their mental illness is often the only relevant aspect of their identity ● creepy ● seen as abrupt and creepy ● weird.. different.. not accepted ● movies imply that there are very few people with mental illness ● Everything that happens is rooted in the disorder ● sometimes they're portrayed inaccurately and they mix up different behaviors
- 17. #Movies4MentalHealth #Movies4MentalHealth What is Stigma? • A judgment or stereotype that is: • Always negative • Always untrue • Can be internalized
- 18. The Conversation That Never Happened Content heads up: depression, cultural stigma By Gordon Yao AWI Winner, April 2020 #Movies4MentalHealth
- 19. #Movies4MentalHealth #Movies4MentalHealth A Hopeful Poll: How are you feeling after watching this film? B Sad D Angry / Frustrated C Worried / Anxious E Overwhelmed
- 20. #Movies4MentalHealth#Movies4MentalHealth How does stigma feel? ● Its true we are so stressed out about the society that we forget to appreciate our kids needs and opinions. I think the video is really an eye opener ● limiting ● isolating ● It feels invalidating ● keep us quiet ● stressful ● It makes me feel scared to come out and talk about how I need help. ● stifling ● makes us feel inferiori and alone ● it makes me feel awkward ● feel scared ● feel unheard ● Makes us feel not ourselves ● pretend the problem does not exist ● It's so frustrating to deal with something and have so many people think that you're just lazy and not trying hard enough ● like talking about it will open things up that won't successfully be addressed, so why open that can of worms ● feels lonely ● Very depressing and should sove theproblem or talk with others how we are feeling
- 21. #Movies4MentalHealth#Movies4MentalHealth What makes it difficult to reach out for help? ● fear ● Sometimes lack of resources ● I get scared what people will think of me ● fear of being made fun of ● embarrassed ● feeling like a burden ● The worry about how other people will judge us ● Our culture ● Fear of backlash, loss of respect, fear of being looked at differently ● the fear that no one will care.. it won't matter ● rejection ● I think being considered "weak" or "inadequate" when you ask for help is pretty halting ● it's hard to understand what I'm feeling ● judgement - how people view you ● Not knowing where to turn to. It is hard to reach out for support when I feel like a burden. ● money ● in the past, friends have said "I totally feel the same way, I think I'm bipolar also" ● fear of being ignored ● lack of understanding ● worried about what people will think
- 23. #Movies4MentalHealth #Movies4MentalHealth A Relaxing Poll: How was this breathing exercise for you? B Invigorating or Refreshing D MehC New E Stressful or Uncomfortable
- 24. The Hurt that Binds Us By Victoria Anderson-Gardner AWI Winner, August 2019 Content heads up: cultural stigma, physical abuse #Movies4MentalHealth
- 25. #Movies4MentalHealth#Movies4MentalHealth What did you think? What did you feel? ● Add to Netflix list: Indian Horse (Residential School and student who finds refuge in ice hockey) - beautiful and sad. ● Shame for being part of the race that has inflicted so much pain on other races. ● sad that communities don't support/accept differences. The differences make us stronger ● It was disheartening to see that this man lost his way of life because of these boarding schools. It makes you see how some people are wicked enough to take a person's culture away from them and are willing to leave them traumatizing. ● it is inspiring that he is talking about love after all he's been through ● its really daunting ● sometimes intergenerational trauma can take attention away from the understanding how the systems of oppression that impacts the present issues ● It was very relatable. Being part of the Hopi tribe it reminded me of my family. Seeing the intergenerational trauma that has happened to my grandmother, my mom and my cousins that still live on the rez. I also find it hopeful in seeing that indigenous people are being represented. ● It's sad to see the woman not realize that her parents were physically abusive but just thought they were messed up. She just seemed to accept it. ● I think taking a doc format makes it very real and forces viewers to connect with the actual people who exist in real life instead of a fake character that you'd hope don't rrepresent reality
- 26. #Movies4MentalHealth#Movies4MentalHealth What are some practices that help support your wellness? ● yoga ● Music ● Working out ● exercise ● nature & exercise ● running ● Walking ● art ● Meditation ● running ● walking ● cooking ● yoga ● I agree, yoga helps to control breathing ● practicing gratitude ● baking/sleeping ● helping others ● going to WORK ● schedule time to chat with friends and family ● having someone I can vent to without guilt ● music.piano ● meditation ● playing with my kids ● For me, crying actually helps sometimes. It is nice to just let it all out sometimes. ● Venting out with friends ● being in nature ● taking time to enjoy my alone time (ME TIME) ● journaling ● watching stand up comedy ● cleaning/organizing ● playing with my daughter ● hiking ● taking care of a pet ● eating healthy ● learning something new has been very helpful since it forces me to focus on something and celebrate learning new thing ● having something to look forward to is key for me.. even if its a small thing ● shopping? :) ● tennis

- 31. #Movies4MentalHealth#Movies4MentalHealth What did you think? What did you feel? ● Sometimes you have to push yourself through the odds and think about what is best for you. ● Gaining help, regardless of what others think, is what will help a person become mentally stable and self-confident. You always have to do what is best for you. ● Love the use of soft focus to help us hear the story ● I think I felt it in my head because it brought back memories of being in a Latino household and being told some of those stigmas she mentioned ● I think she has been traumatized by her past events. She could not make decision and she lost her self esteem. ● I thought the story brought up a important subject of cultural stigma.
- 32. #Movies4MentalHealth#Movies4MentalHealth How can we support ourselves and others? ● listen to them ● I have seen so many people in my office who looked SO much like this. And they really can and do get better with support, sometimes relatively quickly. ● school counselors ● not be judgmental ● setting an example, but sharing my challenges - being honest when tough times happen ● recognize that there is a problem ● to be a good listener and help them/guide them to feel better by thinking thru known solutions/experiences ● make them feel important and hear them ● know its okay to be selfish at times ● Reaching out is so so important, whether it's to someone we love that's struggling or especially ourselves. At least in my experience, I feel like nothing really helped until I was willing to reach out and get help ● Listen to them and tell them that it only gets better. It is always true. ● Sometimes asking ourselves questions. Am I happy? Is this true? ect.
