Patrick Kennedy, who already authored a book about his own and his family’s challenges with mental health and substance use (Common Struggle), has crafted another touching book, written in the style of his uncle John F’s book Profiles in Courage. In this Profiles, there are 12 untold stories of individuals who struggled with their mental health and addiction. Included in these stories are the family members, therapists, bosses, doctors, and friends needed to help the loved ones through their journeys. With each chapter of Patrick’s inspiring new book, there is Power in Story. Highly recommended!
“It is one of the great honors of my life that these twelve people trusted us to share their stories, daring to be truthful for no other reason than the hope that their frankness might help melt away some of the iciness of stigma and misunderstanding.”
