Lynne chatted to Charlotte Maidment  about the history behind the release of her book and her quest for it to reach as many people as possible.
• This is the journey of her ‘lived experience’ during the mental ill health of her husband, Steve.
• The periods of hospitalisation.
• The toll it took on her personally.
• How ‘The Book of Hope’ evolved (with Steve’s input), to be a refreshing tool and ‘go to’ resource.

The Book of Hope is now one of MH1’s recommended resources for the MHQ training.
