Storytelling

At Unsinkable, our mission is to amplify voices and cultivate a healthy narrative.

Through the power of storytelling, we strive to empower individuals to share their stories, break down barriers, and inspire others. We understand that everyone has a unique story to tell, and our goal is to foster a culture of acceptance and support, where individuals can find solace and strength in the stories of others.

become a storyteller

At Unsinkable, storytellers are encouraged, coached, and supported every step of the way as they share powerful stories of courage, resilience, transformation, recovery, and hope.
We proudly provide a platform for young people, athletes, celebrities, and everyday heroes—your neighbours, friends, and community members—to share their lived experiences and unique perspectives on mental health.

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.

How it Works

  • Start the conversation

    Either reach out via email or submit a short form to express your interest in sharing your mental health story. Our team will follow up with an introductory email and to schedule a virtual meet and greet.

  • Meet Asante, Unsinkable's Storytelling Manager

    In the meet and greet, Asante will learn about your story, discuss your goals, and help you choose the best format - written, video, audio, etc. From there, you’ll work closely with our team through a thoughtful revision process.

  • Amplify your voice

    Once your story feels ready, we finalize it together. With your consent, we will share the story across our Unsinkable platforms - helping you inspire and support others on their mental health journey.

Storytelling Cohort Program

Unsinkable’s Storytelling Cohort Program is a guided, 8-week journey where participants work together in a small group to develop and share their personal mental health stories.

Each week, participants meet virtually with our team and each other to explore story structure, voice, and purpose—building skills, confidence, and connection along the way. The program ends with an in-person showcase, where storytellers can share their completed stories with friends, family, and supporters in a celebration of courage and growth.

We run 2–3 cohort programs per year, often in partnership with organizations or focused around a theme. Occasionally, we offer open cohorts that are available to the broader public.
