OnTrackNY + Lipp Studios: A short film series focused on sharing stories of youth experiences with psychosis
Strong365 Lab collaborated with Amanda Lipp of Lipp Studios to develop a series of 6 short films about youth psychosis and Columbia Psychiatry’s early psychosis treatment program, OnTrackNY. Each film honors the lived experience of the storyteller and their support networks with the goal of delivering prosocial health messages to positively influence awareness, knowledge, attitudes, or behaviors surrounding mental illness.
The films have since been the subject of stigma reduction research, finding that video interventions, featuring individuals of diverse genders and races, can reduce stigma and encourage support-seeking behavior. These films continue to be used for digital engagement strategies to grow awareness of and referrals into the program.
