This is the story of the beginning of the National Schizophrenia Fellowship, later renamed Rethink in 2002. It tells of how a group of remarkable people, faced by the tragedy of severe mental illness in their own families, came together determined to do something about it.

This publication describes mental health recovery as experienced and understood by people themselves.
