Since 2012, TMI Project has offered two 10-week storytelling workshops a year in collaboration with the Mental Health Association of Ulster County (MHA). The mission of the program is to destigmatize mental illness through true storytelling. Earlier this year, Theresa Haney (she/her), a Red Hook-based creative arts therapist, participated in one of these workshops. What follows is her monologue adapted by Chronogram Magazine for print.
Be sure to check out each monthly issue of Chronogram through December. A story from TMI Project’s archive will be published in every issue for the remainder of the year!
The Julie Novak Storytelling Club is a place to be your full self — radically free, fully seen, and wholly welcome. To make sure our programming lives up to that promise, we’d love to learn a little more about who’s in the room. This information also helps us demonstrate to partners why this work matters.
