Voices From the Outside In

People of color historically have had their mental health discredited, ignored and neglected, and face stigma from their communities if they have or show signs of mental illness. Voices From the Outside in is a response to this stigma, and explores the complicated and complex relationship POC have with their own mental health, and within their communities, and presents to the public non-white narratives of what it's like to struggle at the intersections of race, identity, and health.
