This Close To Okay

by Leesa Cross-Smith

Even people without a history of mental illness had to go to great lengths to protect their mental health.

Mental health is health and health is important for all living creatures. It's very simple, very true. In this book there are people dealing with their own mental health issues and a woman who works as a therapist and people who love people with mental illnesses and I really wanted to approach mental illness and mental health from all sides since most people have experience with at least one side of it. And we're all affected by it in one way or another...either on a personal level, just from the stories we read and see, or all of the above. My prayer and wish and hope is for everyone to have that safe space to share their struggles and a safe space to rest when the world is too much.
