Our mission is to publish a book containing 100 true life stories of mental health recovery. The series is called Mental Illness Recovery Series and the book gives rise to the silenced truth of mental illness and the exhausting, but noble journey of recovery.
Did you know that 4.8 million people in a year experience mental illness in the U.S. alone? That statistic is the dark truth about just one side of the world’s mental health. Imagine considering the whole world. Can you guess that number? Well the World Health Organization stats its approximately 450 million people. That number is way too high, so we have made it into one of our priorities to further understand the true struggles behind mental illnesses.
Haven’t you searched online, in magazines and books looking to better understand your or a loved one’s mental illness and all you get are articles or chapters on what the mental the illness is, the symptoms and treatments? Isn’t it time to take a step further and write about the ugly side of mental disorders without the stigma that accompanies it? We made it our priority to make a difference. To give a voice to those who day to day battle with their disorders.
