To mark World Suicide Prevention Day 2023 Fran and I are offering our book HIGH TIDE LOW TIDE for FREE on Kindle for five days between Sunday September 10 and Thursday September 14, inclusive. Once the offer is over the prices will return to normal.
In High Tide, Low Tide: The Caring Friend’s Guide to Bipolar Disorder we share what we’ve learned about growing a supportive, mutually rewarding friendship between a “well one” and an “ill one.” With no-nonsense advice from the caring friend’s point of view, original approaches, and practical tips, our book is illustrated with real-life conversations and examples.
World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) was established in 2003 by the International Association for Suicide Prevention in conjunction with the World Health Organisation. This year’s theme is Creating Hope Through Action.
Creating Hope Through Action serves as a powerful call to action and reminder that there is an alternative to suicide and that through our actions we can encourage hope and strengthen prevention.
This is a topic very close to our hearts and never far from our thoughts. Suicidal thinking has been part of my friendship with Fran since we met twelve years ago, and we devote one chapter of our book to dealing with how to support a friend who is feeling suicidal.
