Description
Sharing our stories has the power to set us free.
In The Power of Sharing, members of the i understand community, an organization dedicated to brain health and suicide prevention, open up about how mental illness has touched their lives. Challenging the stigma around mental health, over a dozen brave authors share their truth in these pages. Readers will find comfort and companionship in their stories of pain, difficult choices, betrayal, grief, and heartache.
In the words of i understand founder Vonnie Woodrick, "Speak up. Speak out. Share your story with a brave and honest face, because when you do, you may never know the difference it can make in someone else's life--or better yet, your own."
