Abstract

In this presentation, we introduce a digital storytelling intervention designed to reduce stigma and promote resilience among justice-involved adults. We discuss our pilot study proposal which will test feasibility, psychological benefits, and public-attitudinal impact through mixed-methods and experimental designs, offering a trauma-informed, community-engaged model to enhance well-being and disrupt stigma.
