During the winter and following spring of 2009 a group of writers, poets and artists, all of whom have at some time been users of mental health services, work-shopped together to create a single volume to celebrate World Mental Health Day. It is hoped that this volume will alleviate the prejudice with which mental health issues are still viewed. A challenging and rewarding read, Footsteps without Prints is both autobiographical and fiction. It depicts footsteps in life through a variety of forms; including articles, poems, artwork and photographs.
There will be books available, individuals reading from the book and mental health information Stalls
