@mbeisen Thanks so much, boss! (Always called him this.) I still wear my “Where would Jesus Publish?” shirt I got from you during grad school interviews and have never had single malt scotch so early in the morning since our 8am rotation meetings. Your are one-of-kind!

🎥 A tenured scientist chose openness over silence and redefined what leadership can look like.

Disclosure didn’t weaken his leadership - it strengthened it 💪

In academia, lived experience is rarely visible. 🫥

When respected scholars share their stories: 🎤
Empathy ↑
Stereotypes ↓
Distance ↓

Storytelling can transform culture. 🔄 🌟

Stigma reduction works best through:
• Education 📚
• Human connection 🤝

🏛️ But academia isn’t a typical workplace and power dynamics matter.

Our solution addresses these challenges, meeting communities where they're at.

Burnout is heavy. 🪨
Silence makes it heavier. 🪨🪨🪨

When academics feel pressure to hide mental health struggles, the personal and professional toll compounds. 📉

Reducing stigma = protecting people and scholarship.

Stigma = stereotypes + prejudice + discrimination. 🚫

In academia, that can quietly influence who is trusted, promoted, or supported. ⚖️

🏷️ We can’t change what we don’t name.

🎓 In academia, silence around mental health isn’t accidental - it’s structural.

When disclosure feels risky, care gets delayed.🕰️
🎤 Storytelling changes that.

🎥 Our narrative-based anti-stigma films help academic communities move from fear to openness.
