Flourishing Families: This Is My Brave from the Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation- May 23, 2023, Boston, MA

The Foundation’s ongoing commitment to both The Center and to This is My Brave was on display in May at a powerful evening of personal storytelling from eight mothers sharing their experiences of raising children struggling with mental illness. The Center’s Flourishing Families program—a virtual, parent training and peer support initiative—engaged This Is My Brave to work with these mothers to develop their performance.  Women from across the U.S. and the Caribbean, each painted deeply moving pictures of their lives managing, supporting, and loving children facing challenges of depression, anxiety, loneliness, rage, self-harm, and severe mental illness.
