In "Resilience," the second episode of Hiding in Plain Sight, our “heroes” speak about finding help and inpatient and/or outpatient treatment. It also explores the criminalization of mental illness, the tragedy of youth suicide, and the “double stigma” that occurs when mental illness is combined with racial or gender discrimination.
