A Family Guide to Mental Health Recovery: What You Need to Know from Day One - 7901

$14.18

Endorsement from Benedict Carey, science reporter, The New York Times: “Across my career covering mental health, I have fielded scores of urgent calls from readers: ‘My brother’s suicidal;’ or, ‘my daughter is on the street, psychotic’ —what do I do? There was never one good answer. But now there is: a warmly written, deeply informed guide for families in crisis, by true experts with a lifetime of experience.” About the book A Family Guide to Mental Health Recovery is for parents of adult children who struggle with a serious mental illness. Serious mental illness is complex, the mental health treatment system in the U.S. is fragmented, and you may often feel like your child's future has been overlooked. We want you to know there is hope for recovery. This guide is intended to help families get their bearings, understand the mental health system and its limitations, and build a path forward towards person-centered recovery. Additional Endorsements “This is a ‘break the glass’ kind of document to help you know how to respond to an emergency.” “When you have just gotten the diagnosis, you think, “What the heck should we do?” This guide would have given us a new way of thinking about what was going on and what to do next. And it would have helped us in a crisis to know about all of the options.” “I like how you have helped us to see that there is no single path to recovery. It would be good to repeat that there is no tried and true method for everyone. Each person is different.” “Your treatment planning section shows that having a diagnosis does not mean that my family member should forget about her dreams of having a good life. The overall theme is that there is hope; there are things that are useful to try.”
