For our July 30th meeting we'll be discussing the stigma surrounding mental illness and how it is portrayed in the media. Although you're probably familiar with many pop culture examples, here a list of suggested shows/movies to watch:
Mental
House: Simple Explanation
Monk
United States of Tara
Movies: Girl Interrupted, A Beautiful Mind, The Hours, Rain Man
You don't need to watch everything, but just try to get a feel for the way the mentally ill are portrayed. When watching these, consider the ways in which it could increase/decrease stigma. I'll post the related articles closer to the date of the meeting.
