Their perspectives provide invaluable expertise to stakeholders engaged in this work across various sectors. By listening to and centering the voices of people who have been there, we seek to expand the conversation around suicide and suicide prevention in our state. At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to: • Empathize with and identify similarities between themselves and those with lived experience of suicidal thoughts and actions. • Identify how disclosure of lived experience benefits both the storyteller and the public. • Discuss suicide as a complex phenomenon that occurs within and beyond the context of mental illness.
