Synopsis:
As a child growing up in a home with family violence, Brisbane author Jas Rawlinson often felt alone, fearful, and uncertain. After struggling through her teens, losing her dad to suicide, and then experiencing sexual assault at age 20, she fell deeper and deeper into depression. Often, suicide felt like the only way out. But in the back of her mind, there was a small flicker of hope; a desire to one day help others so that they didn’t have to suffer the same traumas alone. Slowly, Jas began to regain control of her life, and explore her passions, eventually becoming a freelance journalist, the founder of Brisbane's first domestic violence memorial, and the author of the suicide prevention book 'Reasons to Live One More Day, Every Day.'

Mental health is such an important issue. Stories like this help raise awareness and understanding. They are so important.

This topic finds me very much. It is so important to keep raising awareness around mental health. Thank you Jas for sharing your story.

This is an evocative film for me, the powerless child, the difficulty of remembering good memories of childhood. The difficulty/stigma of speaking out. But the hope in the resolution shares hope.

I worked in the Mental Health field for over 10 years. I worked with both adults and children populations. I think that raising awareness of the issues that people face on a day to day basis is sobering and empowering. For some the reality of living with the stigma of their diagnosis can be crippling. For others this is their motivation to learn skills, and find resources for their survival.
