-Mental Health: People feel shame when they feel or say something that they think they shouldn’t. This can lead to depression and low self-esteem. Stories help these people heal and feel not so different (Hallward). Very talked about and lots of resources.

-One story can go a long way. Mental Health problems such as depression were not as talked about and people were not as aware of these things many years ago like we are today. They are well known about now because of that one person who spoke out and then led to the next and the next and so on. (Davis, Hallward)

– “Social Cohesion”- has a role in how we deal and talk about these things with others (Epstein)
– Social change has an impact on how mental health has grown in today’s society
– Programs also have an impact on how we have raised awareness of mental health and how they have helped victims of different mental health disorders. Related to AIDS programs (Epstein)
