“What It’s Like” engages a larger audience by using a relatable classroom scenario to demonstrate the anxiety and otherness that is often felt when asking for help with mental health. By doing so, it encourages friends to remove friction involved in asking for help by starting the conversation themselves. It also offers ways to help reduce feelings of otherness, by removing shame from conversations about mental health and offering support instead.
