Facing Suicide Together Through Stories of Hope and Healing

Please join us for a special event celebrating courageous Vermonters impacted by suicide who’ve shared personal stories of resilience and hope! In an effort to save lives and spread hope, people across our state are sharing their bold voices and brave hearts in the Real Stories portion of our FacingSuicideVT.com campaign. With your presence, build community with us, enjoy refreshments, learn something new, and most importantly – uplift lived experience voices in suicide prevention.

This screening and reception is Thursday, Aug. 21, 2025 from 4-6 pm at Capitol Plaza, 100 State St. Montpelier.

Doors at 3:30 (refreshments and mingling)
