Resources for Storytellers
Congratulations! You have been asked to share your story with the public because you have something important to offer in your community.
Sharing your story can bring up a lot of emotions, from excitement and exhilaration, to nervousness or hesitation.
In this resource you will find a workbook which will help you determine your readiness for telling your story publicly. It will also assist you in preparing for your interview, creating boundaries for safe sharing and creating a self care plan.
“Tell Your Story” workbook
This workbook will help you define your narrative before you attend your interview so that you have clarity on what you wish to share and not share during the process.

The Lifeline and 988
988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (now known as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), and is now active across the United States.
When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.
