Mental Health 101 Unspeakables with HEAL by Edward Simon Cruz https://padlet.com/23ec0134/8z11krfotgkswvvf Things that everyone seems to see happen, but that no one does anything about, or at least that is the perception. Things go unaddressed in groups and never seem to change because no one is talking about them. These are the things that people seem to never “name”. en-us 2020-06-05 13:27:20 UTC 2025-12-15 01:15:51 UTC hello@padlet.com What is the purpose of this activity? 23ec0134 https://padlet.com/23ec0134/8z11krfotgkswvvf/wish/612966857 This activity will allow the group to start discussing things that normally don’t get discussed.  It may be a little uncomfortable - and that’s ok - that’s even the point!  Feeling a little uncomfortable is natural in the beginning. The hope is that over time, as more of these topics become spoken about, the more we will be able to address them.]]> 2020-06-05 13:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/23ec0134/8z11krfotgkswvvf/wish/612966857 How will this work? 23ec0134 https://padlet.com/23ec0134/8z11krfotgkswvvf/wish/612969445 Each person will type an  an anonymous “unspeakable” on the Padlet. You can write as many posts as you want. Do NOT write your name on the post.

Once everyone is able to write what they want to write, the index cards get shuffled. Next, one by one, we'll pick an "unspeakable" to look at. We'll then have an open discussion about what was written on the post. This cycle continues until time is up or all posts have been read. If there’s time, we can discuss something that you've heard or read that is staying with you after today.

Remember, you have 2 ears and 1 mouth so make sure that you are listening more than you are talking. Make sure all people have the chance to contribute : )

We'll debrief at the end. We'll also give you a chance to think about next steps you can take to take care of yourself and be an advocate.]]> 2020-06-05 13:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/23ec0134/8z11krfotgkswvvf/wish/612969445 You don't have to answer all of these. Pick something that stands out to you. 23ec0134 https://padlet.com/23ec0134/8z11krfotgkswvvf/wish/612975381
