Compass – Broken Open (2005)

  1. Both of these clips are excellent and I use them in my Certificate IV in mental health classes regularly to highlight the issues around stigma and to give an insight into the lived experience of psychosis. I am very dispappointed with the 'curators note' section where they make mention that Craig talks about his 'personal weaknesses'. This is a stigmatising comment which upholds the damaging myth that mental illness is a result of 'personal weakness'. Would be excellent if someone could review it

  3. Thanks Trainer for your comment. We've reviewed and adjusted the comment in the Curator's notes accordingly.
