How is your book helping others?
When someone you love is struggling with their mental health, life can shift in an instant. Suddenly you’re searching for answers you never imagined needing. Trying to hold your world together and at the same time helping someone find their way through the dark. Sarah sits alongside carers, psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors, nurses, police, paramedics, and clinicians to unravel the topics carers are so often left to navigate alone. She explores emergency care, recovery care and more, and shows in small but powerful ways, how carers can use tools to support and advocate for their loved ones, while still caring for themselves.
Dear Carer, is not just a book. It’s a hand to hold, a breath of reassurance, and a reminder that love, steady, imperfect, or determined, can light even the darkest moments.
