In 2018, two mental health professionals and two authors facilitated a Story Circle writing group for people who have been suicidal and recovered. The aim of the Story Circle is to help participants share their stories of recovery with each other during the writing group, and then with the community by publishing a book.
Don’t Let Suicide Kill You: 9 Stories of Survival and Recovery has now been published. If you have patients who are in crisis, this book may help them feel less alone, less ashamed, and more encouraged to reach out for help. These stories may also help practitioners to gain insight into the experience of those in crisis and reduce the stigma associated with suicide.
For a free e-copy of the book, click here. Orders for hard copies at $30 each can be sent to [email protected].
The Story Circle team would love any feedback about this book.
