| Publisher Description: Award Winner - International Latino Silver Book Award for Best Health Book. What happens when someone you love begins to experience mental illness? Ramona's book provides guidance to readers by alphabetizing challenges encountered by individuals supporting a loved one with mental illness. What affects the ill person becomes disruptive to the whole family. Through heart-felt vignettes, the reader gets insight on what to expect in his/her journey as a caregiver. The book accomplishes three things: 1) provides necessary tools for a caregiver, 2) lets caregivers know their situations are not unique; they are not alone. 3) de-stigmatizes mental illness and substance abuse while promoting acceptance. The Englislh and Spanish text allows for broader distribution of this important resource book. |
