Statistics | A Shared Act of Witnessing
| Statistics is an audio archive of stories collected from people who live with and have experienced mental illness. |
| Please note that this event features stories which discuss subjects that may be harmful to some listeners. All content warnings should be read and respected. |
| 6:00 to 7:00pm Eastern Time (EDT)
| Created and Hosted by RMR
| The Statistics archive addresses the commonality of mental illness and the stigma, both internal and external, that is attached to it. Additionally, by collecting these stories it amplifies the voices of those who are often ignored, replacing the coldness of institutional statistics with the voices of real people who live the reality behind the numbers. |
| The Statistics archive is actively seeking more stories.
| Listen to the entire archive & find out how to contribute. |
