Last month, our team had the opportunity to show up in two incredible spaces — the Brain & Behavior Symposium at Tulane Tidewater and the Healthmoor Event at Broadmoor Arts & Wellness Center!

Members of the CALM team spent time speaking with students, clinicians, parents, and community members — answering questions, sharing resources, and sparking conversations about psychosis, early intervention, and how recovery is possible with support.

From referral guidance to EPIC/CALM materials and even a little swag, the goal was simple: Meet people where they are, reduce stigma, and make sure families know they’re not alone!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, asked questions, and welcomed us into these spaces. Together, we’re building awareness, connection, and access to care — one conversation at a time. 💙

Art isn’t just decoration — it’s connection, understanding, and courage made visible!

In this Reality Check episode, Dan Jones shares how storytelling through film has opened doors to deeper empathy around psychosis — and how collaboration rooted in curiosity (not checkbox marketing) can change how these stories are told.

When creativity meets advocacy, stigma loses power.

Psychosis is real. So is recovery.

What if technology could help people spot early warning signs before a crisis hits? 🧠

On this episode of Reality Check, Ashley Weiss & Serena Chaudhry sit down with Peter Westlake, founder of Mindnumbers — a new app designed to track symptoms, sleep, routine, mood, and patterns over time.
Think of it like an automatic wellness journal that could help people catch early changes sooner.

Peter shares how his background in clinical diagnostics — combined with lived family experience with psychosis — inspired him to build a tool that could change how we support people living with bipolar disorder and beyond.

As we look ahead to 2026, we’re reminded that breaking the stigma around mental health isn’t a one-time act — it’s a daily choice, a shared effort, and a collective movement!

Every story shared, every conversation started, every act of understanding matters.

What’s one way you plan to keep breaking the stigma in 2026? Let us know in the comments below. ⬇️
