http://www.TransformingStigma.com/programs When most people think of a ‘civil rights movement’, they immediately think of the Civil Rights Movement that took place in the United States of America between 1954 and 1968. Rosa Parks is considered by many to be the the mother of the Civil Rights Movement because of her refusal to give up her seat on a segregated bus.
There is a new Civil Rights Movement happening in the United States of America. It’s the Mental Illness Civil Rights Movement. In this country, as in many other countries, a stigma exists when it comes to mental health. Mike Veny, a mental health guest motivational speaker says that stigma includes “stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination”.
The Mental Illness Civil Rights Movement is centered around discrimination. This typically includes job discrimination and housing discrimination – complete violations of one’s Civil Rights.
In a Huffington Post article from 2013 titled, “Mental Illness as a Civil Rights Issue”, author Paul Heroux offers four potential solutions.
* Increasing investment in community mental health programs.
* Increasing public awareness campaigns that address mental health stigma.
* Increasing police training in mental health.
* Increasing civil rights legislation and protection for people with mental illness.
Mental illness discrimination is a challenge in other places, too. During a recent trip to Bermuda where Mike Veny was hired by the Bermuda Mental Health Foundation to deliver his “Transforming Stigma into Strength” presentation, he learned about some of the challenges with mental illness discrimination in Bermuda.
According to attorney Michael Hanson, The Human Rights Commission in Bermuda had 11 complaints about mental illness discrimination in 2014. Because of outdated laws, the 11 people had NO PROTECTION under the law. Government officials in Bermuda have committed to addressing it this Fall.
Whether it’s Bermuda or the United States, the mental illness discussion is a civil rights movement that will help everyone thrive.

Emotional Sobriety – 2020 (Actionable!)
Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY what I do to help maintain my emotional sobriety.
Sobriety is something that makes most people think about alcohol, so what is emotional sobriety? If being sober is not having any alcohol does emotional sobriety mean not having any emotions?
What does emotional sobriety mean?
Emotional sobriety is a part of emotional wellness. It doesn’t mean that you don’t have any emotions, it means that you learn how to handle and cope with the difficult emotions that people experience that they may try to cover with alcohol or drug use. Emotional sobriety is all about learning how to handle your emotions in a healthy way.
Everyone experiences negative emotions. Things like hurt, anger, disappointment, and guilt are unfortunately a part of life. And, that’s why it’s so important to learn how to recognize and address those emotions and feelings instead of turning to things like drugs, alcohol, shopping, gambling, or other escape behaviors.
It’s important to learn how to be more comfortable with the uncomfortable emotions that a part of life. In this video, I share something I do on a daily basis that helps me show up for my emotions every day. This allows me to be a more mentally healthy person for myself and others.
In short, this video I share with you one thing you can do every day to maintain emotional sobriety.

http://www.TransformingStigma.Com/how-to-find-a-good-therapist.html How to find a good therapist!
In this video, mental health stigma expert and speaker, Mike Veny talks about how to find a good therapist. As a person who has been hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital 3 times and been in and out of therapy for most of his life, Mike has learned a thing or two about getting good help.
One of the easiest ways to find a good therapist is to ask a friend for a referral. The challenging part about this for most people, however, is feeling uncomfortable letting anyone know about struggling with a mental health challenge. When it comes to other services, such as auto repair or a dentist, we don’t hesitate to ask friends for referrals.
Whether or not the therapist that you try was from a referral or not, you should be able to tell within 2 or 3 sessions if that particular therapist is a fit for you. Regardless of what anyone says about what you want to look for, it comes down to a gut feeling about that person being a good fit for you. You’ll know it when you find it.
Also, your therapists can change over time. Sometimes a therapist that was initially a good fit for you no longer fits you. Like many relationships in life, you may outgrow the relationship and that’s a wonderful thing. Keep in mind that there as many different types of therapy as there are therapists out there. Mike Veny has had sessions with psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and licensed counselors. Each type of therapy and therapist brought something unique to the table.
