Valerie Porr has been invited to the Karolinska Institutet to present a TEDX Talk in Stockholm, Sweden on March 29th.
A former NY fashion designer, Valerie shifted to mental health advocacy. She founded TARA4BPD, dedicated to supporting those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) through education and advocacy. Now leading the BPD ENIGMA group, she explores innovative treatments, including psychedelics and mentalization-based therapy.
At TEDxKI 2025, she’ll discuss how understanding mental illness can reduce stigma and highlight the power of human connection in healing.
