AWI Sanctuary Space presents: My Mental Health Story (Borderline Personality Disorder)
An ongoing Continued Connections program that creates virtual spaces for people to connect at the intersection of art and mental health.
“My Mental Health Story: Borderline Personality Disorder” is a special Sanctuary Space that was hosted by Art With Impact on May 26, 2022 during BPD Awareness Month. We were joined by artists, writers and mental health advocates Miranda Newman and Camille Alizadeh to watch short films about mental health, share lived experiences with borderline personality disorder, swap mental wellness tips, and co-create a stigma-free world.
