The Cairn - At The Cairn we write,
advise, promote and publish on mental illness awareness issues, self-harm,
recovery and the role of the carer.
The first publications are on living with and learning to manage mental
illness and give a rare insight into mental illness - insight from both
the patient and her carer. Both books highlight the importance of good
psychiatric treatment, support and self - management as being vital aids to
recovery and mental health stability.
'The Naked Bird Watcher' by Suzy Johnston, ISBN 0954809203.
'To Walk on Eggshells' by Jean Johnston, ISBN 0954809211.
Available from books shops, internet books sites or - at a discount if
bought together - from The Cairn. The Royal College of Psychiatrists'
President, Mike Shooter, believes the books to be the first ever
publications on a mental illness from both patient and carer.
