This magazine style guide contains comment, opinion, research and personal reflections on the experience of mental ill health from people with self experience. It also gives an insight into the workings of a multi disciplinary mental health team from the professionals themselves.

Full colour reproductions of paintings by members of The Baisin Club resource centre give the magazine a look that few publications of this kind can boast.

You can also follow the journey of a number of people through their own experiences expressed in a narrative story that run throughout the magazine.

In his introduction, John Saunders comments
"Everything in this guide is directed by the idea of mapping a recovery journey for people." You can download a copy of Taking Control of Your Mental Health by clicking on the link below.  You can order hard copies by calling 01-8601620.
