Today, Anna-Maria is thrilled to have begun a new project. Her mandate: To make psychological concepts more mainstream in order to help decrease the stigma around mental illness and increase help-seeking when needed. With her brand new website and evolving social media presence, she hopes to prove that there are interesting, unintimidating, and normalizing explanations behind what we do and why we do it - providing evidence that there is no need to perpetuate stigma.
