I am currently earning my Masters Degree in Special Education with credential specializing in Emotional Disabilities (ED), and plan on showing this film to my ED kids. Being mentally disabled myself (Bi- Polar Type 2, OCD, PTSD, and General Anxiety Disorder), I think it is so important to show kids that being diagnosed with a mental illness is not a death sentence. It does not mean that you will never succeed in life, it does not mean that you will never have a long term relationship, it does not mean that you will never be a good parent.....it does not mean that you will never feel what it is like to be happy. I have had many teachers already in the field tell me that I should "hide my disability". That mental disabilities are not "looked at in the same way as other disabilities". I am so excited that there are organizations out there like NKM2 that are fighting to end the stigma attached to mental illness. I highly recommend this film to anyone who would like to learn more about mental disabilities, to anyone suffering from a mental disabilities, or anyone with a loved one with a mental disability. Personally, I feel that everyone should see this film! Bravo Joey!
