The Schizophrenia Oral History Project

“The Schizophrenia Oral History Project is an archive of life stories of persons with schizophrenia. The narrators are women and men with schizophrenia who are sharing their lives in an effort to increase understanding and reduce stigma related to mental illness. Their stories reveal not only their struggles, but their remarkable courage and resilience, their hopes, dreams and talents, and their concern for others.”
