Join us on World Suicide Prevention Day for the launch of What It Takes to Make It Through, a book of stories by those touched by suicide.

About this event

Join us for the official launch of What It Takes to Make It Through: Stories of Suicide Resilience and Loss, a collection of personal stories about suicide published through the Storybook Project. Held on World Suicide Prevention Day and supported by the Ontario Brain Institute, this free virtual book launch will include a panel discussion with several of the book’s authors. There will also be a Q&A period and discussion about suicide prevention with authors and therapists.

What is the Storybook Project?

The Storybook Project is an outreach initiative of the Arthur Sommer Rotenberg (ASR) Suicide & Depression Studies Program at St. Michael’s Hospital in Canada. It aims to amplify the voices of those with personal experience with suicide, decrease stigma, and foster connection through storytelling. At the ASR, we put out a public call inviting people who have been touched by suicide through contemplation, attempt, or loss to share their unfiltered, personal journeys. We received dozens of powerful submissions from across Canada and have worked together with the authors to compile them into the printed collection, What It Takes to Make It Through.

Book Launch Details

Join us on September 10 for a panel discussion and Q&A with several of the authors about their experiences sharing their story publicly, their writing process, and a general discussion about suicide prevention.

  • Submit your questions: We encourage you to submit questions for the panelists in the text box during your Eventbrite registration, or during the event through the chat box.
  • Book Raffle: All event attendees will be entered into a raffle to win 1 of 5 mental health book packages, generally supported by Caversham Booksellers! Each raffle package contains a copy of (1) our new release, What It Takes to Make It Through, (2) Bridge Over the River Why by David & Deborah Cooper, and (3) The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris.
  • Accessibility: Live transcription will be available throughout the event.

We hope to see you there for this exciting milestone in our project!
