Snowflake : Breaking Through Mental Health Stereotypes and Stigma

Nichol, Lucy More by this author...£12.99

Ever been labelled a snowflake, skiver or crazy? Stigma around mental health is still alive and well (and breeding).

Mental health advocate Lucy Nichol takes a deep dive into 10 of the most harmful mental health stereotypes. She examines where they come from and how they are fed, drawing heavily on the impact of social media, the press and popular culture. Expect a heap of Twitter wars and way too many tabloid headlines. (Spoiler alert: a certain ex-GMTV presenter, Meghan Markle-hating best pal of Trump's may well feature.) With the help of experts in the field of mental health and anecdotes from her own mental health journey, Lucy reveals how we can dismantle stigma once and for all. She calls us to reclaim the slur snowflake as beautiful and unique. To stand up to the harmful rhetoric and to show strength in vulnerability. And to keep building conversations around mental health. ... When Snowflakes come together, it can cause an avalanche.
