Mental Health Speaking Books
"This is fun for children to use, as sometimes you don't feel like talking to grown ups because it's depressing, therefore I can listen to the book." (15-year-old girl). "This" is a 16-page book – with titles like Caring for Your Household, Suicide Shouldn't be a Secret and Understanding Mental Health (a guide for you and your family) – being read by children orphaned by AIDS who head households across South Africa.
