Unfixed Mind: Facing and Transforming Stigma

In episode 2, Facing and Transforming Stigma, cast members Ava, Jacob, Ricky, Kyle, and Dior address the stigma of mental illness. They discuss the challenges of navigating societal misperceptions about mental health—the pain, the loneliness, the shame-- and the importance of learning how to embrace our personal stories and feel proud of who we are despite such challenges.
