Social workers are compelled by their Code of Ethics to uphold the dignity and worth of every person and to challenge injustice where they see its occurrence. In working with LGBTQ persons, Mark Gianino, PhD MSW, encourages social workers to move beyond mere tolerance, and toward an integration of knowledge, skills assessment and intervention as well as advocacy within agencies and beyond. In two demonstration sessions featuring the same client, we first see Mark display a lack of awareness and skills when working with his client, who identifies as gender queer. This “blooper” session is followed by a second, corrected, “best practices” session where the original mistakes are averted, and an affirmative approach is shown. Mark Gianino is Clinical Associate Professor of Clinical Practice at Boston University’s School of Social Work. His research interests include gay and lesbian parenthood, transracial adoption, suicide assessment and intervention, and education and training in group work. Dr. Gianino has worked for over 30 years as as a clinician, supervisor, and administrator in outpatient and inpatient mental health settings as well as group and independent private practice.

Depression does not discriminate, and yet the ways in which people and communities view and react to depression differ. The unique experiences of African Americans are often taken into account when examining other topics of interest, but mental health in general is often overlooked. African Americans and Depression helps to uncover the realities of depression among African Americans, and the various ways in which sufferers and their families address, or don’t address, it. The authors provide guidance for understanding the illness, suggestions on how to heal and recover holistically, and pathways for getting help. With a primary focus on the psychological and medical needs of African Americans, the authors explore and offer an overview of clinical depression among African Americans, discuss the signs of and cultural myths surrounding clinical depression, outline the mental health help-seeking process for African Americans, and suggest potential barriers and strategies for healing. Further, they discuss community-based interventions and innovations in service programs. Lastly, the authors offer insight on mental health and health policy in the United States care systems. Including firsthand accounts from sufferers and families, this work will aid readers to better understand depression and how and where to find help.

The practice of using shackles and chains to physically restrain people with mental illness (known as pasung) is widespread in Indonesia (as in many other developing/low middle income countries) and almost universally ignored. This observational ethnographic documentary explores the beliefs and social norms regarding pasung and tells an original story about the social and political activism to free people from this practice and the process that leads to the release of victims of pasung such as Yayah, a young woman who has been chained inside a small room for 17 years. In particular, the film follows the activities that have been initiated by an organization in Cianjur (West Java) that is led and run by people with mental health problems.

In a culture where mental problems are often viewed as a stigma that brings shame to the family, this documentary breaks an important silence. CAN is a seminal film about Asian Americans suffering from mental illness. In a culture where mental problems are often viewed as a stigma that brings shame to the family, this documentary breaks an important silence. Can Truong is among millions of refugee “boat people” fleeing Vietnam in the 1970s. In the United States he becomes a model student, aspiring to be a doctor. After graduating at the top of his high school class and being accepted as a pre-med student at the University of Chicago, he begins experiencing difficulties and is diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder. After numerous attempts to continue his studies, he is forced to leave the university due to difficulties concentrating and studying. After leaving school, Can experiments unsuccessfully with shock treatments and medications and becomes involved in the “mental health consumer movement” which focuses on recovery through self-determination and peer support. Inspired by his peers, he embarks on a healing journey of a different kind—trying to resolve cultural differences with his traditional Confucian father, deconstructing his painful childhood wounds, volunteering with mental health organizations that promote recovery, and exploring spiritual and holistic healing modalities. Can ultimately reconciles with his father and graduates with a degree in marketing. Adult College
