BEE-long: Fraud, Interrupted.
An empowering and evidence-based story by Dr Jamm
Fraud is not a personal failure. It is organized violence.
BEE-long reframes financial fraud victimization away from shame and blame toward evidence-based systemic understanding. Through the story of a community learning to protect itself, we have a goal to build a hive-like protection network where personal experiences become collective resources and knowledge.
This six-page comic uses plain language and therapeutic structure and process to honour the intelligence and resilience of people targeted by fraudsters.
Share a story. Open a mind. Change the world!
