What We Do
Our Mission
​
​
We provide authentic insight and support for Mental Illness, especially Dissociative Disorders such as Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder.) You can find out more about this on our YouTube, and explore our free collection of resources on our resources page.
​
DissociaDID speaks from authentic personal experience, being professionally diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder in early 2017. We combine this intimate lived experience with extensive knowledge and research to create scientifically supported, validating, and easily digestible content on a human level.
We tackle the topics of trauma and abuse in an honest, straightforward and sensitive manner, raising awareness worldwide and challenging the devastating stigma surrounding these difficult subjects. We believe this stigma is an unnecessary barrier in an informed society, causing further harm to survivors of trauma and those living with mental illness. Stigma complicates the already convoluted social pathways to seeking specialist help and support.

How Are We Achieving Our Vision?​

Advancing the education of the general public to facilitate public awareness of complex trauma-related disorders and Dissociative Identity Disorder. We hope to encourage an increasingly respectful level of understanding and compassion for vulnerable groups, and a sense of informed responsibility towards supporting them.
-
Providing additional insight, advice and resources for professionals in the health and social care industry, and mitigating the stigma in these sectors which prevents the disadvantaged from receiving an adequate level of informed care.
