Session 7: Mental Health
Reflect on these questions before coming to session!
How is mental illness stigmatized and criminalized?
In the video titled "Understanding ACEs with Dr. Nadine Burke Harris", Dr. Harris defines the biological stress responses and describes how you can regulate this response. What are things you do to regulate your biological stress response? (In other words, what do you do to de-stress?)
How did the pandemic impact the mental health of you and your peers?
Who do you go to for support when you face challenges that feel overwhelming? How do they help? What about vice versa - how do you show up for your loved ones who are struggling?
