Our Research

From Story to Science

The VOICE Lab transforms personal stories into evidence-based mental health interventions.

We collaborate with individuals, families, clinicians, and community members to create authentic video narratives, refine them through audience feedback, and evaluate them in randomized controlled trials.

Our research examines whether these videos reduce stigma, increase help-seeking, and improve engagement with care, as well as why some stories are more effective than others.

Effective interventions are then disseminated through social media and community partnerships, allowing evidence-based mental health messages to reach people at scale.
