Will to Recover

This little book can start some big discussions about what happens when the mental health system fails to recognize the role trauma and psychiatric labeling play in the lives of mental health consumers, psychiatric survivors, and ex-patients. Will to Recover: One Man's Refusal to Give Up affirms that we all have stories to tell, and that in telling our stories we often realize just how strong we really are. Ideal for Peer Specialists and others who want to create opportunities for group discussion and sharing around what it means to live beyond tragedy, and how we can support each other to create the lives we want to live through peer support.
