What to expect

'Sensitively and seriously exploring mental health stereotypes' Stylist

This is NOT a book of rules or statistics.

It will NOT tell you what you can and can't say to someone with a mental health problem – or to anyone for that matter.

It WILL increase your understanding and empower you to stop stigma in its tracks.

Take a deep-dive into some of the most harmful mental health stereotypes with mental health advocate and author Lucy Nichol.

Lucy exposes 10 of the most harmful mental health stereotypes and explores the impact of social media, the power of the press and how mental health is represented in popular culture.

With the help of experts and the voices of those affected by these harmful perspectives, Lucy makes a case for how we can dismantle stigma once and for all.
