Here are the two first paragraphs of an article written by Robin Weinberg about the website:

“The Schizophrenia Oral History Project, created by Tracy McDonough and Lynda Crane, is a nonprofit organization that shares audio-recorded interviews of people living with schizophrenia. The organization’s mission is to present life stories—not just illness narratives—to educate the public, humanize people with mental illness, and reduce the stigma surrounding schizophrenia.

The project does this in two ways: first, by posting edited interviews, written stories, and photographs on its website; and second, by developing and conducting public presentations at universities and hospitals, health care organizations, and advocacy groups. While there are other media outlets that have interviewed people with schizophrenia about their illnesses and published edited interviews online, this project seems to be the first and only of its kind to collect comprehensive life history interviews with the goal of presenting people with schizophrenia as holistic, multidimensional human beings”.
