The Phoenix Project wishes to thank Professor Brad Brockman, and his students, from Brown University for the opportunity to discuss multilayer issues of stigma for the formerly incarcerated on the panel discussion held on Monday, November 28, 2022. Advocating for, and with our members, is an essential step in educating doctors, attorneys, and policy makers. Their ability to address their own biases, to discuss issues with people with the lived experience, and to view each other as partners in a more peaceful and prosperous society is key to creating a better R.I.
