On Friday, October 18th the Psychology department hosted a field trip to the Dartmouth Hitchcock Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. For the past few months, the center has hosted an art exhibit called 99 Faces which focused on the stigma of mental illness. This exhibit, by artist Lynda Cutrell, contained 33 pictures of people living on the bipolar spectrum, 33 people living on the schizophrenia spectrum, and 33 people who love these individuals. Our group explored the stories of some of these people and engaged in meaningful conversation about why stigma towards mental illness occurs. This unique exhibit will be traveling to multiple locations throughout the United States next, such as Tufts University and Gordon College.
