Unity in Suicide Bereavement – An Event for World Suicide Prevention Day

Have you lost someone to suicide? Are you supporting someone who has? Join us at 6pm on Tuesday, September 10th at Junto Studio for a free event dedicated to healing and connecting with others who have also been bereaved by suicide. Hosted by renowned storyteller and poet Patrick de Belen, expect a screening of his documentary “Tell Me A Story About Someone You Miss,” followed by a live poetry performance exploring the themes of grief, migration, and mental health. Patrick will also lead a sharing circle and a creative writing workshop, providing opportunities for group healing and camaraderie.
