Video documentation of conversations that end stigmas towards our differences

  • #StigmaFree was created after doing research on having conversations in our communities about mental health. i came across NAMI page where Bebe Moore Campbell was highlighted for advocating July as "Minority Mental Health Month". I decided to host conversations about taking care of our mental health the way we care for our physical health.
  • I partner with several mental health organizations who provide counselors for the conversation. In 2017 i joined #LetsThinkAgain a state wide campaign to erase stigmas towards people with disabilities. If you are interested in hosting a viewing of a documentary and conversation to erase stigmas please email me at aliciadorsey2@gmail.com.
  • Knitting is also a creativity tool in preventing degenerating brain disease. I host Neural Knitworks with Penn students to connect intergenerational families to knitting and brain health research. The family learns to knit and care for their mental health.
