- 17. #Movies4MentalHealth 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? ● Culturally (asian culture) it is seen as "it's all in your head" ● Not really spoken about (Black culture) ● In my culture (Mexican), it's something we ignore.. "suck it up, I had it worse" ● Black culture - being over dramatic ● I feel like parents don't understand mental health of their children or don't take us seriously ● There is no such thing as mental health and mental illness in my community. Someone can be having a mental health breakdown and it will be rumoured that they are cursed, have had a spell put on them, are devil worshippers, etc. ● They never talked about it growing up so they don't think it's relevant and they survived it so we should to.....

- 22. #Movies4MentalHealth What makes it difficult to reach out for help? #Movies4MentalHealth ● You look weak when reaching out for help ● you can't figure it out yourself ● reaching out for help can be scary ● The "roles" we feel pressured to perform. Like in the short film, the need to hide softness just to be respected. ● lack of understanding from our own family and friends makes us reluctant to get help ● People not understanding or downplaying your emotions ● Or they compare your situations to theirs or to other people and invalidate your feelings, "I've had worse, yours is not that bad" "there are many people out there who are suffering more than you, you should be happy with your life"
