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.”

Vonnie Woodrick is the founder of i understand, a nonprofit organization created in 2014 in loving memory of her husband Rob, who lost his battle with depression in 2003. Woodrick is passionate about comforting those affected by suicide and changing the conversation around mental health. She has previously been published in Woman's World and is a monthly contributor to Women's Lifestyle Magazine. She is the author of the book I Understand: Pain, Love, and Healing after Suicide and the editor of The Power of Sharing: Stories of Hope, Love, Support, and Healing from i understand.
