http://www.TransformingStigma.Com/effects-of-stigma-on-mental-illness.html In this video, Mike Veny, is speaking about the stigma surrounding mental health and mental illness to raise awareness for professionals at a conference. Mike Veny is a mental health speaker and the founder of http://www.TransformingStigma.Com.
Examples of stigma include thinking that mental illness is correlated with violence. Statistics show that people with mental illness are more likely to have a violent crime committed against them than committing a violent crime. In addition, people who live with mental illness experience employment discrimination.
Search online to learn more about the survey results of mental health provider-based stigma and understanding the experience of clients and families. We need to have more discussion regarding this issue. It’s time to change our cultural paradigm and campaign to transform stigma.
Australia and Canada are setting the example for transforming stigma. In Canada, the company Bell is doing a incredible job of increasing awareness through it’s “Let’s Talk” campaign. Bell is setting a good example for how business can help transform stigma.
Mental health stigma is in the military (and is experienced by veterans), in the media, at work, in healthcare and just about everywhere in America. Believe it or not, it exists in social work, too. In fact, it affects everyone including mental professionals.
In the United States of America, stigma is a huge problem in the black community. African Americans are experiencing difficulties in having conversations about mental health with each other. Despite these challenges, there is hope. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is working hard to address the stigma surrounding minority mental health as a whole.
This issue spans across cutures, too – mental health stigma is in the Muslim community, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Kenya, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and China.

http://www.TransformingStigma.com In this video, mental health speaker Mike Veny answers questions about being a child and having angry outbursts. He reminds us that sometimes, their is NOTHING that you can do for someone when they are in a bad place. However, a long term commitment to therapy is essential for helping youth and children in crisis.
When it comes to children’s mental health, more services, especially support systems of care, are available than ever before, but children still aren’t getting all the help that they need. More effort still needs to be put forth regarding children’s mental health awareness.
According to that National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 4 million youth struggle with serious mental health challenges that increase problems at home, school, with peers, and overall development. 21 percent of children between the ages of 9 and 17 have a diagnosable mental health or addictive challenge that will cause them difficulties at some level. Of that 21 percent, only 4 percent get help. Left untreated, these mental health issues become significantly worse as children get older.
50 percent of the lifetime cases of mental health challenges begin by age 14. Regardless of effective treatment, people wait a long time (many years) between the first sign of a problem and when they receive treatment. Sometimes this is due to stigma. Sometimes this is due to a lack of resources. Sometimes it’s a combination of the two.
Mike Veny is a youth and children’s mental health speaker who speaks at conferences and events throughout the world to raise awareness about children’s mental health. He’s extremely passionate about speaking at events during children’s mental health awareness week (and month). He enjoys helping young people who were like him. Growing up is tough. Growing up with additional challenges is even tougher.

#1 Healthcare Speaker & Patient Expert 2020 (Actionable!)
Today you’re going to learn the ONE THING you should be focused on as a caregiver or healthcare worker before anything else.
In fact, in this video, I share with you the one question you should be asking yourself on a regular basis.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
I’ve struggled with mental health challenges for as long as I can remember. That’s why I work as a mental health speaker and healthcare speaker and writer to help end the stigma that surrounds mental health. My life’s all about helping others. As a healthcare worker or caregiver, this is something that you understand. You probably got into the work that you do for the exact same reason – you want to help and care for others.
But it’s easy to get so focused on caring for others that you forget to care for yourself. There is a misconception that it’s selfish to put yourself first, but as I explain in this video, that’s not the case.
Putting yourself first helps you to show up better for those that you are serving. If you want to be an expert patient caregiver, it’s necessary to take care of yourself. When you are burnt out, you aren’t able to offer those you care for the same level of care. Taking care of yourself first is one of the most selfless things that you can do.
This is the message that needs to be spread around the healthcare industry and that’s one reason I find the work I do as a health speaker so rewarding. It’s what motivates me to take care of myself so I can better serve my audience working with healthcare in the speakers’ bureau, as a pharmaceutical speaker, or speaking for any other healthcare event.
In short, this video will show you why you need to put yourself and one step you can take to make that happen.
