About Us
Raising awareness, voices and fundS
PSYCHOPATHY IS... About hope. About letting people know the disorder is treatable. And that you don’t have to live in fear of violence, when you can estimate the risk of it.
PSYCHOPATHY IS... About truth. Separating fact from fiction. Freeing people from stigma. And helping them find a place where they feel free to share their story.
PSYCHOPATHY IS... About community. Creating local networks that have the same questions and fears. Have resources to share. And always have your back.
PSYCHOPATHY IS... About to change the conversation surrounding psychology's most misunderstood disorder.

What they also don’t know is: all too often, officials don’t seem to know or care themselves. This is a big problem. I’ve heard many stories of animal cruelty over the years, but three stand out.
