Why did you get involved with the National Museum of Mental Health Project?
Museums are a safe and voluntary space for learning; visitors can explore and engage with material in their own way and at their own pace. I got involved with NMMHP because there are relatively few exhibits dedicated to mental illness and mental wellness, and this organization seeks to change that. Exhibits meaningfully and powerfully combat stigma by sharing research and personal narratives, and I chose to intern with NMMHP so that I could help broaden access to these formative, educational spaces.
