About this Event
Join us for a FREE Project Blackbird event at Delaware State University, featuring the award-winning short film Blackbird and a panel discussion centered on mental health, storytelling, and lived experience.
As the debut stop of the Project Blackbird HBCU Tour, this event is designed to create an open and meaningful space for students and community members to discuss mental health, challenge stigma, and connect with resources that can support their journeys toward recovery and self-acceptance.
We can always find common ground with others... sometimes in unlikely places.

ABOUT PROJECT BLACKBIRD
Project Blackbird, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) and corresponding live touring event that aims to encourage conversations around the crises and stigma surrounding mental illness and eating disorders within underrepresented communities nationwide.
The goal of the live event is to encourage and empower participants to confront situations in their lives that may be causing them shame in order to give those situations less power and to provide participants with local and national resources – including access to mental healthcare professionals – to begin the journey toward recovery and self-acceptance.
