Dear Carer,
Sarah Martin
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.

GenNexus: The Future of Being
Jack Myers
Readers of GenNexus: The Future of Being, will gain a deep understanding of the first generation born post-AI who will never remember life before machine intelligence. This hopeful and positive story introduces GenNexus as the architects of a more inclusive, imaginative, and deeply human future. It is written for both the GenNexus cohort to read as they mature and for the parents, grandparents, educators, and leaders preparing them for an unprecedented future. Through text and images, the book defines this new generation and shares how machine intelligence has the potential to positively reshape learning, work, relationships, identity, belonging, and the wonderful qualities of being human. With a view of the opportunities and ethical challenges ahead, GenNexus seeks to replace fear with informed dialogue and purposeful action, explaining why empathy, creativity, courage, judgment, and human connection must guide this generation’s development.
