It's time to speak UP.

In Speaking UP About a Mental Health Crisis, Pamela O'Neill combines her firsthand account of the dangers of working as a frontline worker in mental health-when a former colleague was murdered by a client while on duty-and her honest experiences of personally dealing with mental health issues. Shocking international statistics and probing questions are presented in a relatable way to inspire readers to speak UP about the worldwide mental health crisis we are currently facing. She encourages everyone to share their voice and be their authentic self. If you're ready to let go of your fear and break free from what's keeping you silent, this is your liberation song.
