MEDIA REVIEWS
Really and truly: Mind Your Head is a fabulous contribution to the long road to getting mental health parity with physical health. It's truthful and honest. It's clear and accessible. It has both personal and professional experience hard-wired into it. And it's not afraid to make you laugh even when it's talking about very serious things. Highly recommended.Aimed at young adults,the book is accessible and supportive with humorous illustrations by Gemma Correll (...) The message is'Let's talk about mental health'and the personal stories of dozens of teenagers will hopefully make it easier for others to do so tooI think this book should lurk around a lot of homes and school libraries. It's important,empathetic,well-researched and,most of all,kind. And the world needs to be kinder to people who are minding their heads.
