Helping a Mentally Ill Loved One in a County Jail…
There are so many books that cross my desk I cannot focus my attention on every single one.
I just got a galley of a book with the title: Helping a Mentally Ill Loved One in a County Jail by Barry T. Schell, M.A. and I realized right away that there is a definite audience for this one.
Mug shots of the inmates of county jails have become a staple on newspaper websites. Relatives and loved ones scan these photographs searching for their own. According to this book there are 800,000 mentally ill individuals who are locked up in county jails and juvenile detention centers.
Do you know someone who is incarcerated and mentally ill? This book offers advice on how you can deal with the system and try to help those loved ones.
The book will be published in April.
