Unsinkable Quebec
Unsinkable is coming to Quebec : 8 stories of hope
We are starting a new chapter !
To introduce Unsinkable to the Quebec ecosystem, we set out to discover eight organizations working in the field of mental health, in order to gain a better understanding of this issue as it affects people in Quebec. Through the testimonies of eight individuals, we were able to highlight the work accomplished by these organizations and, in so doing, sow messages of hope.
Storytelling Quebec
Unsinkable Québec is looking for bold and unique voices to speak about their journey and vision in mental health.
Each voice is a precious source of support and strength for others.
We want to encourage and facilitate individuals to become part of a movement that encourages dialogue, understanding and solidarity.
Why become a storyteller in Quebec ?
✔ Have you experienced or are you still experiencing mental health challenges?
✔ Do you want to share your story in a caring space to raise awareness and help others?
This project is your chance to make your voice heard and contribute to a free, non-judgmental dialogue with our one-on-one facilitator.
A project that puts individuals first
Field Engagement Program
The Field Engagement Program allows Unsinkable to source different types of individuals and/or communities who are often more marginalized.
We aim to change our view of storytelling as an individual testimony of one’s mental health journey, but rather a group’s reality or history. In this sense, we seek out storytelling partnerships with both local organizations and communities, such as Indigenous groups, youth organizations, immigrant associations, veterans, health workers, LGBTQ+ groups, etc.
The goal is to share their perspectives through their lived experiences of struggle and recovery, while creating the opportunity for our audience and storytellers to discover each other, bolstering community connections.
We can provide a powerful tool by giving communities the space to share their stories, through their lens, in their spaces. But we will never reach all kinds of people if we are not actively in the field, connecting with storytellers in their communities.
Community engagement
Mental health is everyone's business.
Yet some voices remain too often in the shadows.
Unsinkable Québec is looking for testimonials from the communities most affected by mental health issues:
✔ Youth
✔ Immigrants
✔ LGBTQ+ people
✔ Members of Indigenous communities
✔ Veterans
✔ Health workers
✔ Women
Thus, field engagement is a necessary next step in expanding the reach and impact of storytelling at Unsinkable.
Unique voices
These stories are published on www.weareunsinkable.com and our various social media platforms. They provide a diverse range of lived experiences that can help others struggling to feel less alone. Storytelling is the cornerstone of Unsinkable and often the starting point for Unsinkable Community Champions.
