Caucasian adult and middle-aged women taking coffee and snacks from refreshment table at ladies luncheon. Mary Kathryn Dixon Gilligan, first lady of Ohio and wife of Ohio Governor John J. Gilligan, meeting and speaking with seated women. Two elderly Caucasian adult women seated; one has her hair in a bun, the other wears a pillbox hat, both wear dark horn-rimmed glasses. Mrs. Gilligan speaks about the stigma of mental illness and the idea that admitting mental illness and seeking help is still seen as a weakness. Adult African-American male reporter asks if enough is being done; Mrs. Gilligan thinks more can be done in Ohio, and there is movement in that direction.
