Bøger af Peggy Mercer

Due to lack of public awareness of the mentally ill and underfunded and under-supported programs at community and national levels, Peggy Mercer, in conjunction with ML Wilson Publishing LLC of Gainesville, Florida, launched a series of stories about a schizophrenic character named Bogg Rivers. This book, The Crazy Stories, collects the series and adds additional tales, for an eye-opening read about this critical health issue. Of the series, at least four previously published, were named to the elite Amazon bestseller lists in the categories of Health, Mind and Body and Teens and YA. Their literary value in de-stigmatizing mental illness in America is incalculable. Mental illness touches every family and every community. When blood is shed by a mentally ill person, who lives without treatment or intervention, the blood is on a society which refuses to assist the mentally ill. If there are teenagers, advanced middle school readers, and young adults in your home and school please urge them to read these stories and discuss mental illness. If you are a teacher, please make this collection required reading. If you are a psychiatric nurse or mental health counselor, enjoy. "Mentally ill people are children of God, just like normal folks are. I am taking up their fight through these stories and if words have power, then we'll get something done!" -Peggy Mercer
