Our host, Erica Ives, will explore the impact of mental health with everyday people and uncover how it relates to classified mental illnesses. The visual experience will depict real people and relationships in order to gain a deeper understanding of mental health and mental illness. We will follow your curiosity of the mental health continuum, provide education on how mental illness manifests, and portray how individuals and families develop a strategy to gain hope and begin a journey of acceptance and reintegration. Our goal is to feature the person, not the illness. This show is geared to dispel common misconceptions, highlight a variety of accessible tools to maintain good mental health, and review resourceful information on the many ways to get help through varying environments, countries, and cultures.
