Mental illness and the family experience

March 11th, 2010 | Posted by pfmarchive in uncategorized

Susan Inman’s memoir, After Her Brain Broke, Helping My Daughter Recover Her Sanity, has been recommended by leading organizations advocating for families coping with mental illnesses

No parent ever wants to see their child develop a chronic medical disability. But, when it is one that is so misunderstood by society as is schizophrenia and other serious mental illnesses, it is even more traumatic.

We speak with Vancouver author Susan Inman about her memoir.
