About Our Research:

The National Museum of Mental Health Project (NMMHP) extends from the work of two researchers, Alexandra P. Orlandi and Paul M. Piwko who met at Assumption University in Worcester, Massachusetts. Piwko taught at the University and Orlandi is a 2019 Psychology graduate. Together they received a summer research fellowship in 2018 to continue their research. Their research: 

  1. investigates a nascent trend – the use of exhibits, in museums and other settings, to develop mental health literacy and to advance societal attitudes about, and understanding of, mental health and wellness

  2. develops collaborative operating and business models that are capable of extending the above-described trend nationally

 

In addition to its mission of developing innovative exhibitions about mental health, NMMHP's mission also includes "t seeks to “broadcast and communicate” the above research, as well as the research and exhibit-development innovations of others.
