Personal & public health

Breaking Barriers contains personal accounts on the subjects of mental health and mental ill health, from contributors aged between 18 and 83, male, female, transgender, and non-binary, from the UK, USA, Africa, and mainland Europe, and from a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds and occupations. You will be taken on a journey that will open doors to some very personal stories; there are moments of despondency, moments of hope, but overall you will find, within this collection, the power of the individual spirit to create, to rise above, to speak from the wilderness and to share.
