Preventable: Protecting Our Largest Organ, the first ever Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome documentary, was released in 2019. It showcased the suffering of patients and loved ones having to navigate the withdrawal process, as well as highlighted doctors who have been championing the cause. It continues to help open eyes in the medical community today, but there is still much that needs to be addressed and amplified before true change can occur.

Due to this demand, I am creating a sequel documentary entitled, Still Preventable... because it is. With the recognition of its predecessor, this project can be a powerful catalyst for creating tangible change in the narrative of how this condition is seen in the medical world, as well as calling to action both policy makers and researchers to get behind the funding required to pass legislation that will establish firmer safety guidelines on these drugs. It will add to the encouragement of dermatologic societies in integrating the patient experience into their understanding of eczema and TSWS, and it will house the voices of more professionals and doctors who are at the forefront of demonstrating to their medical peers that TSWS is a true and pressing matter when considering topical corticosteroids as a prolonged treatment.

With your help, this community will be able to create another stamp in history where they did not stay silent but shined a light into the darkness. So many are added into our groups, suffering through a condition they didn't even know existed.

But it does exist. We exist. And we will not stop until it ends.
