Book of mental health experiences to launch at Yearly Meeting
A new book is being launched at Britain Yearly Meeting
by Tara Craig
1st May 2015
The Quaker Life Network’s newly published Encounters with mental distress: Quaker stories will be launched on Saturday 2 May at Yearly Meeting.
The book is a collection of Friends’ stories about their individual experiences, along with those of carers and others within Meeting. It is the work of the Quaker Life Network’s Mental Health in Meetings Cluster Core Group. The Cluster arose out of a growing interest and concern about mental health.
The gathering of stories began with an article in the Friend on 24 May 2013 in which Isobel Lane wrote about her own experiences and invited others to send in theirs.
