I worked as a Human Resources Director for over 20 years. I partnered with executives to change culture and minds moving from a harsh bureaucratic system to one with a culture of free will to approach your profession, your job and employee involvement. I also over saw our benefits programs which often had at least minimum coverage for mental health. I also managed our Employee Assistance Programs (ESP)

As a consumer and not being diagnosed until I was 42, I took the … READ MORE

Dese Rae L. Stage 2013 Mental Health Hero Cartoon-A-Thon

Drawing by Chato Stewart

Dese’Rae L. Stage (link: deseraestage.com) is a Brooklyn-based photographer working on a series of the portraits and stories of suicide attempt survivors called Live Through This (link: livethroughthis.org). Live Through This strips suicide of its anonymity, encourages survivors to own their experiences publicly and proudly, and asks the rest of us, “why not talk about it?” It is the first known project of its kind, exploring a world that has remained a taboo for far too long.

Dese’Rae never knew she wanted to be a photographer. In fact, she completed her Bachelor of Science in… READ MORE

retweet

Carbamazepine 300 mg: Oh god… Please don’t hurt me!  We didn’t mean to make fun of your 10 milligrams dosage.

Depakote 500 mg: >>> K.O’ed!!

Caption: Sooner or later every bully meets their match

The idea behind this was simple, some medications I take are in low dosage but can have a huge effect on my mood, sleep, diet.  That got me thinking about some the the higher dosed drugs and how I’m sure they are all stuck up and conceded case they think they are stronger… Well this cartoon should shut them up!

Words Of The Wisdomless: Play Dead :

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty” – Winston Churchill

…An Possumist sees opportunity plays dead, avoids the difficulty and remains”-
Chato Stewart

This play on words has to me one of my funniest to draw… I love the face on the poor bottle with all the warning labels on it. I idea of the cartoon is simple enough coming from my medications with all the warning labels not to drink, drive causing dizziness and well you name it, it’s on psychotropic meds. So, coming up with the idea was not the problem, conveying the underling danger of labeling people was… but I think that idea is comes though with him teasing the other bottle. What do you think?
