“Taking it one mind at a time: Two friends pen insightful guide on becoming mental health activists” by Melanie Tucker
Trish and I were thrilled to be interviewed by The Daily Times reporter Melanie Tucker about our new book, Make a Difference with Mental Health Activism.
Here is the start of her story:
One grieving mother sewed a quilt.
A popular comedian started a podcast.
One sufferer designed an unusual button to pin to her chest.
And here in Blount County, two women combined their talents to write a book they hope lights a fire under others to join the movement.
The topic they have all rallied behind is mental health and the stigma that comes with being diagnosed.
