Our   cartoon books on Stress and Depression are proving popular with people around the country, selling like hot cakes, off the table at our training events, through the Website, as well as finding favour with  Occupational Health departments. Written by our stress trainer and former mental health nurse, Martin Davies, the books are simple to follow and mix sensible, effective advice with hugely entertaining cartoons to make the points. 

Concerned about the number of people affected by the illness,  Martin  has written and illustrated these self-help cartoon books  on the subject. Martin, who trains public sector staff in depression & stress, was motivated by the fact that depression & stress have never been  ‘sexy’ or popular topics and most books on the subject are either ‘heavy’ or difficult to understand. By illustrating the books with cartoons on each page, and featuring depression & stress as  like a ‘virus’, which can be ‘caught’ if a person’s emotional immunity is low, he believes he has found a way of communicating a serious subject in an easily understandable way. For Depression,

Martin recommends:

• Acknowledgement: -admitting you may be depressed is the first major step to recovery

• Get support and use it – you will be surprised how others are willing to help

• Talk, express and share –particularly in a dark month like January-don’t bottle it up

• Learn how to problem solve –taken step by step this is achievable by most people
