An authentic and compelling look at mental health issues, as experienced by real-life young people

Mental Health and Me brings together seven stories of teenage struggles, from body image issues to drug abuse, as experienced by real-life teenagers. First produced as animated documentaries by the BBC, each story has unique honesty and is brought to life with sophisticated, but accessible graphic artwork.

This book will help young people to better understand mental health issues, empathise with those who are struggling and possibly even see their own experiences reflected, making them feel more supported and less alone.

The stories are supported by specialist advisory notes supplied by the UK mental health charity MIND.
