behind Mental Illness human distress.

Some guiding questions to help create your new narrative:

 Think about a disorder/ label of Mental Illness you would like to transform and

why.

 This may be from your personal story or more broadly.
 Consider an alternate story, narrative or message you would like to express in

place of the label from the label you have chosen.

 Explore words, sentences or images that may help express the meaning, story,
narrative or message.

You are welcome to express your new narrative/explanation/story on top of the

DSM page in any way you like, it may be a:

 Word

 Image
 Colour

 Collages
 Written poem

 Story

 Comic strip
