Paper Birds

A Project About the Relationship Between Trauma & Memory Loss

Our Mission

Even in the wake of the mental health movement, the subject of trauma–specifically that of recovered memories–remains a taboo.

Despite the prevalence of this experience among survivors of trauma, few can find the courage to talk about it due to it’s complexity and the fear of not only being misunderstood, but unbelieved.

We’re dedicated to educating the public on the process of delayed recall of traumatic memory, offering a safe space for those to learn more about the science behind this phenomenon: what happens, why it happens, and how to contend with it.

Paper Birds follows just one story of the millions out there. But with this one story, we hope to spark a conversation about a facet of trauma that has for too long gone unspoken about.

Our commitment for change is inspired by the grit and tenacity of fellow survivors.

We believe you. We stand by you. We are here for you.
