"Craig Miller is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary story that can inspire hope in everyone who has the privilege of hearing him. Research tells us that when people share their stories of coping through suicidal moments, others learn that healing through overwhelming suffering is happening, and such a ‘contagion of hope’ can save lives. As Craig shares his experiences with such passion, compassion and thoughtfulness, we can appreciate anew what brings meaning to our lives, even in the hardest of times.”
- John Draper, Executive Director, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

"I was honored to have the opportunity to hear Craig speak at the MA Department of Public Health 12th Annual Statewide Suicide Prevention Conference.  His journey is amazing and inspirational.  His is a powerful presentation delivered in a humble and incredibly genuine manner.  He is sensitive to his audience and has made the effort to have his words reflect that sensitivity.  My work in the suicide prevention program is to organize all conferences and trainings.  Over ten years I have seen many excellent presentations.  What is unique about Craig is that his story and the incredible way he tells it speaks to everyone in the room.  He has humble lessons for survivors, for attempt survivors, for clinicians and for those with mental illness. 

If you have the opportunity to hear Craig speak or to have him as a speaker, please don’t waste the chance.  To miss this amazing man would be a shame."

Bridgewater State University - 'You Matter' Suicide Awareness Event
"Craig Miller will leave you nothing less than speechless. He brings awareness to suicide, such a prevalent issue in today’s society. He is extremely real and transparent about his childhood and experiences leading up to his attempted suicide. But, in doing so, he reveals the honest emotions that come with the struggles that he faced and his ability to heal through the hurt following his survival. Whether you have been personally impacted by suicide or not, Craig will touch each and everyone’s hearts in the audience. He is very accommodating to time, willing to work with anyone who is putting on an event in order to get the message out to the particular community who is receiving it. He is an extremely powerful speaker whose personal story will not only move you in your seats to become more aware, but makes everyone think about the way that they treat others in general. His positivity and strength not only touches upon the incredible resilience Craig withholds, but also the inspiration he has already become to the hundreds who are lucky enough to hear his story. He makes a difference not only with his words, but his dedication to the cause at hand – saving lives."
