Finding Our Way

Family Experiences in Mental Health Recovery

In the words of family members & support practitioners

2018, Soft Cover Book, Limited Edition, 173 Pages, Edited by Stuart Clarfield

In FINDING OUR WAY, our new book for families, educators and support practitioners and organizations – our documentary project continues to illuminate the family journey through mental illness and recovery by aggregating the wisdom, experience and insights of family members from a range of communities, including Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.  Parents, siblings, sons & daughters and spouses all have a very different perspective and now you can share their insight in this limited edition book.   We selected Family Member & Practitioner INTERVIEWS  that could create full first person narratives and the result is 14 family member & practitioner chapters that share the powerful experiences, lives lived and lessons learned that can hopefully help other families in their recovery journey.

Finding Our Way: Family Experiences in Mental Health Recovery was created through the support and interest of the University of Toronto’s Factor Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, who invited us to participate in a new series of family “Cafe” workshops being staged in 2018 & 2019 as part of a wider research project on the family experience, and asked for FINDING OUR WAY copies be provided to family participants. It gave us a chance to complete editing, design and initial printing, while also allowing use to reach families, educators and practitioners to launch the book’s use in the mental health and recovery community.  Thank you to Prof. Charmaine Williams, PhD, who invited us to participate and gave us this amazing platform to complete and introduce the book.
