Twa Zanmi (Three Friends)
Haitian community members creating a soap opera to address mental health issues.
The Twa Zanmi Project will nurture a new Haitian immigrant community production team to produce and market a “Telenovela” program. The objective is to familiarize the Haitian community with the real experiences of immigrants living with depression and anxiety as an understandable result of acculturative stress.
The Twa Zanmi Project will generate a community dialogue about mental health, with the goal of developing health ambassadors in the community, decreasing stigma associated with mental illness, and promoting service access.
