StACTalks: The Power of Stories with Jehan Casinader | Event Information

Date: Monday 2 March
Time: 6.30pm–7.30pm (doors open from 6.00pm)
Location: Centennial Chapel, St Andrew's College

Join us for StACTalks: The Power of Stories with Jehan Casinader. This special evening features award-winning journalist, author, and mental health advocate Jehan Casinader, who will share his remarkable journey from early success in television journalism to battling depression and suicidal thoughts – and how storytelling helped him survive.

Jehan’s presentation is not a generic mental health talk. He offers fresh, compelling, and practical insights into how we can support our children’s well-being and strengthen resilience within our families. His storytelling approach provides tools to help us become the “authors” of our own lives and navigate challenges with confidence.

Jehan has spoken to educators, parents, and students across New Zealand, changing lives – and saving lives – with his unique message. His book, This Is Not How It Ends: How rewriting your story can save your life, has inspired countless readers to rethink how they approach adversity.

This free event is open to all St Andrew's College parents and caregivers.

Complimentary tea and coffee will be served after the session in the Centennial Chapel foyer.
