- 19. 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? ● That it doesn't exist… its just to grab attention ● that medication is toxic and all big pharma ● at times overlooked ● In my opinion people are more open about it but it's still misunderstood ● Just wanting attention ● I personally suffer from PTSD, severe anxiety, severe depression and ADHD. I have had people who look at me like it's just me wanting attention. I have been very fortunate to have an amazing counselor and psychiatrist who do everything they came for me, but I feel like that it’s not the norm ● You just need something to do(usually labor related) and you will get over it ● it's difficult Talking about your struggles openly offend puts you in a venerable position ● As a hispanic it’s sometimes problematic especially within family because members have different views and opinions many times based on generational upbringing

- 24. What makes it difficult to reach out for help? #Movies4MentalHealth ● Feeling like a failure, so that fear comes into play again ● I feel like i don't have anybody that cares and feel like my problems are unsolvable sometimes ● Feeling like help isn't working so they give up ● Sometimes not knowing what's actually wrong is a big struggle as well because if you reach out for help but can’t really explain what's wrong it can be difficult for other to know how to help

- 35. #Movies4MentalHealth What did you think? How did you feel? ● that was heavy ● the opening scene, i almost cried too ● I felt like she is so strong to survive what she did , both the sexual trauma and that significant low. I thought that it was amazing when she came out and how she felt afterwards. ● I definitely am so empathetic that i cry all the time for others. That scene at the beginning reminds me of when i lost my mom and the darkest days of my depression. It was very relatable ● The combination of the silent video and the slightly drowned out narration built a sense of sorrow and inner conflict of wanting to be seen but also hide parts of yourself at the same time which was very strong and provoked many mixed emotion
- 36. #Movies4MentalHealth How can we support ourselves and others? ● Be there for the person to talk to. Really listen and ask how we can help. Ot just reach out and help someone struggling before they have to ask ● Let them know that you are a safe person ● I think conversations and awareness surrounding support and recognition of others would be really good especially starting in grade levels before middle school and the self esteem shifts
