The "Why Try" Effect is a form of self-stigma experienced by individuals who have known failure in the face of mental health, substance use, disability and other learning issues. As a peer recovery specialist, founder of Rise Phoenix Rise and animal assisted wellness organization, and Ph.D. student in organizational leadership with her own lived experience of physical and mental health conditions Traci wants to help others understand this form of self-stigma and develop tools to fight back against it.
