Vanessa Jackson discusses her research on African American psychiatric history and the importance of creating opportunities for marginalized communities to tell their own stories. She shares the lessons she learned from her conversations with mental health consumer/survivors/ex-patients and the potential for creating new healing strategies.
She talks about three "magic questions" she asked psychiatric survivors: 1) What happened to you? 2) How has what happened still affecting you now? 3) What do you need to heal?
