This Is My Brave, Inc.

With a mix of gratitude and pride, I share a significant moment in the history of This Is My Brave. After ten years of relentless dedication to breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illness and substance use disorders, we have reached a turning point for our organization. Our contact-based stigma-reduction program, This Is My Brave – The Show, has been fully developed as a comprehensive, evidence-based intervention that is now freely accessible to communities across the country.? This Is My Brave is now available as a public mental health intervention through The University of South Florida’s Stigma Action Research (STAR) Lab. With this transition also comes bittersweet news: In the coming months, This Is My Brave, Inc., will officially cease operations as a nonprofit organization. This, however, is not an end but a new beginning for This Is My Brave. With the launch of our toolkit for This Is My Brave – The Show, communities across the country will have the opportunity to independently produce shows that break down stigma and offer hope, just as we have done together for the past decade. We are so excited to see where Brave will go from here! And we are so grateful for everyone who supported us over the last 10+ years.
