阿宾顿,爸爸. — 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校 将 This Is My Brave - The Show 10月. 12, featuring original performances by community members who are fighting stigma due to mental health conditions, 物质使用, 饮食失调, or being part of vulnerable populations. The 10 storytellers will share their original music, 独白, poetry and spoken word pieces, along with comments from experts and others who are passionate about reducing stigma.
格伦多, assistant professor of 刑事司法 在阿宾顿, is bringing the performance to the community through his relationship with the national This Is My Brave nonprofit organization.
“I consider this to be an intervention that disrupts stigma. I see this as an incredible opportunity to give people the skills and abilities to regain their power. It takes a long time to break down the walls around stigma, and people need to work through their own perspectives if we are hoping for change,他说.
“There are ways we can have an impact on our society, and one of them is by hosting This Is My Brave at 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校. Penn State is a land-grant institution, and it’s not enough to host educational experiences. We need to take our work and use it to improve society,” Sterner continued.
Sterner and the executive director of This Is My Brave recently spoke about their motivations and advice for reducing stigma and how live performances are an effective way to jump-start difficult conversations. Read the interview here.
