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 Because of outdated laws, the 11 people had NO PROTECTION under the law.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.

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how you can quickly begin to improve your mental health with self-care as a middle school or high school student (step by step).
In fact, in this video, I’m going to share with you 3 actionable things that you can start doing today that will help you reduce and control the stress in your life.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Too often there are news headlines that show that America’s youth are struggling with mental health. From suicides to school shootings, we can see the proof that students are struggling. And even though I’m an adult, I get it because I struggled with my own mental health throughout my childhood and teenage years.
Now as a mental health speaker, I enjoy getting to travel the country and talk about school mental health with middle school and high school students. One of the things that I like to do is share self-care tips with students. A lot of students don’t realize they are experiencing problems with their mental health because they call it “stress” instead.
The three tips I share in this video are great ways to start self-care for students:
Get yourself up in the morning
Do a mind sweep throughout the day
Three self-care questions to ask yourself
When you learn how to include these three things in your day, it can help you start to control and manage stress and improve your mental health. Whether you’re looking for self-care for middle schoolers or self-care activities for high school students, this is a great place to get started.
These tips won’t take your depression away, but they can help you learn to make your depression more manageable.
Leave information on hotlines and free resources to reach out to if you’re having a rough time.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways you can reduce stress and mental health challenges by improving your self-care in 2019.
