Who We Really Are
09/18/2025
The RWJ Barnabas Behavioral Health Center featured an art exhibit created by its patients called “Who We Really Are.” Hosted by the OC Library Toms River Branch, this video shows the public interacting with intricate masks of the patient’s faces; decorated on the outside with stigmatizing images representing how the patients feel they are seen, and on the inside with more intimate expressions of their true selves. The video includes an interview with a participating artist about the exhibit’s ambitions to increase awareness of mental health and diminish associated stigma.
Contact the Stigma Council at GovernorsCouncil.MHStigma@dhs.nj.gov to go over the simple guidelines, obtain needed forms, and talk about your vision for your video submission. Your video can then be submitted to the Council for consideration for posting on the Council website. There is no guarantee of acceptance and all decisions of the Council regarding web content are final.
The New Jersey Governor's Council on Mental Health Stigma invites individuals to share their videos.
