Finally, in development with a Georgia College graduate who went on to earn her PhD with a thesis titled, Narratives of Generativity and Resilience among LGBT Older Adults: Leaving Positive Legacies despite Social Stigma and Collective Trauma we are developing a story group to create a language of intergenerational value for LGBTQ+ communities..

    Central State Hospital

    Independent Documentary

    Central State Hospital: An Oral History tells the story of the Milledgeville, Georgia, hospital that was once the largest mental institution in the world serving more than 15,000 patients. I nurtured the project from its inception, wrote the script, edited and created the motion graphics. The story of Central State, from ts founding in 1842 through the announced closing in 2010, told here by former patients, employees, academics, and Milledgeville residents, is also the complicated and troubling story of psychiatric care in America.
