Make A Difference With Mental Health Activism

What People are Saying

After 30 years in psychiatry, I had no idea how to do activism. After reading Lyon’s and Lockard’s Make a Difference with Mental Health Activism, I now know just what to do and where to find much more information. I urge anyone who wants to do even the smallest amount to make a difference for mental health advancement to read this book.
