A.P. Trash Theory - Mental Health Representation in Entertainment Progress

The N.E.W. Social Media Campaign has been moving along rather quickly, but that doesn't mean we haven't made significant process. I have had several differing responses from my survey (here).

I have discussed the project with Mr. Kinunen, a teacher at my high school.
We had a very interesting discussion about how representation in entertainment is lacking but has been significantly improving as time passes.


Check out the website for the upcoming A.P. Trash Theory podcast project, and sign up for bi-monthly podcasts. As part of the Social Media Campaign, I will also be hosting a blog that looks at different books, movies, TV shows, comics etc and rates them depending on how well they represent characters' mental illnesses depending on research conducted through primary interactions. You should also follow our twitter @APTrashTheory.

Later on, I will discuss more about autism, depression, and anxiety with other experts in these topics. I hope to better learn about Mental Health as a whole to help me educate others who have misconceptions on the topic.
