One of the most effective ways to erase stigma is by people with lived experience telling their stories of recovery: COMING OUT. Being in the closet with mental health experiences often leads to shame. COMING OUT replaces shame with a sense of authority and empowerment. COMING OUT promotes the fact that people with even the most serious of mental illnesses recover and do so by actively choosing their goals. This is a book about people COMING OUT, standing up and proudly hailing their life journey, highlighting challenges and accomplishments in the process.
