Chris Cornellin tytär aloittaa uuden IGTV-sarjan – käsittelyssä mielenterveys

Toukokuussa 2017 menehtyneen rock-legenda Chris Cornellin tytär Lily Cornell Silver aloittaa uuden IGTV-sarjan. Sarjan nimi on ”Mind Wide Open”, ja ensimmäinen jakso esitetään 20. heinäkuuta, jolloin Chris Cornell olisi täyttänyt 56 vuotta.

Lehdistötiedotteen mukaan sarja pyrkii helpottamaan keskustelua mielenterveyteen liittyvien asioiden ympärillä. Sarjassa tulee vierailemaan mielenterveysalan ammattilaisia, julkisuuden henkilöitä sekä nuoria, jotka jakavat tarinoitaan ja ammattitaitoaan. Alla olevassa kommentissa Lily Cornell Silver muistuttaa, etteivät läheskään kaikki mielenterveyden kanssa painivat saa tarvitsemaansa apua. Hän myös kertoo tekevänsä sarjaa isänsä muiston kunniaksi.

”My goal for this project is simple: to help normalize the open discussion of mental health. Now more than ever, people are struggling with mental wellness as well as the collective trauma, stress, loss, and grief triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. As with all societal issues, this is an intersectional one. Marginalized groups so often disproportionately struggle with mental health and are denied resources. I have been privileged to receive the care that I need, but this is an uncommon experience. This pandemic highlights how few resources are widely available. I want to create a dedicated space that prioritizes mental and emotional balance and allows for candid, unapologetic discussions. I am launching today in honor of my dad, who passed away three years ago on this date. We often talked about our experiences with anxiety and depression, and mental health was something that he struggled with throughout his life. Through him, I learned how important it is to have someone who understands your darkness, validates your experiences, and gives you comfort. Losing my dad ripped a hole in my heart, and the grief and trauma that has followed comes with its own set of struggles. Through my experiences, I have become more aware of the stigma that surrounds discussing mental health and grief related issues. I want to use my platform to do what I can to create change around this stigma. I want all of us to have a safe place to open our minds and wear our hearts on our sleeves.

Thank you for all of your love and support, today and every day.”
