People's Memorial Association is pleased to be included as a death-positive resource at this event for author Janée J. Baugher. Find our table for access to free end-of-life planning documents and information.

Hugo House and Seattle Office of Arts & Culture present Janée J. Baugher who’ll read excerpts from her newly completed memoir, “Suicide in the Mirror,” in which she examines her lifelong depression and suicidality from the inside/out. Through confessional storytelling that explores healing the self, destigmatizing mental illness, and the power of writing-through-trauma, Baugher shines light on illness, hope, and the lived-experience. This special community event invites all to listen, reflect, and engage in frank conversations about mental health, death, and life. To foster awareness about suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention, the event will include an audience Q&A with NAMI-Seattle (National Alliance on Mental Illness).

Content Warning:

This event will include firsthand accounts of depression, suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, which may be distressing for some attendees. Caring for yourself before, during, and after the event is encouraged. Not appropriate for children under 16.
