About the event

Sometimes the most important things are the hardest to say.


What I Wish My Parents Knew was created by Tell My Story, a nonprofit founded by Jason Reid after the heartbreaking loss of his 14-year-old son, Ryan, to suicide. Ryan left behind the words “Tell My Story,” inspiring Jason to turn his grief into a mission to help families communicate more openly about youth mental health. Produced in partnership with Oak Hollow Productions, the film gives young people a voice and helps parents better understand the struggles their children may not know how to express.
