Fact sheets include finding the right provider, communicating with health professionals, getting an accurate diagnosis, discharge planning, health insurance, community services, dealing with the criminal justice system, planning for the future, confidentiality and family involvement, and taking care of yourself.

The book covers how to get help, pathways to recovery, the intersection of culture and mental health, and many more important topics to guide any person’s mental health journey.
