Book Helps Families Deal With Mental Illness by: News Canada (NC)-More people than ever are taking care of their our bodies through proper nutrition and exercise. They realize that the human body is a finely tuned machine that needs on-going maintenance. The same however cannot be said for the mind. Without proper care, our brains can suffer from degeneration and, in some cases, mental disorder. Author Gayle Grass emphasizes the importance of healthy brains in her new children's illustrated book called 'Catch a Falling Star: A Tale from the Iris the Dragon Series,'. Intended to create awareness and act as a positive tool for dialogue within families, 'Catch a Falling Star,' deals with mental health and illness, the importance of early diagnosis, and how to handle the unfounded stigma. Endorsed by some of Canada's top child psychiatrists, 'Catch a Falling Star' teaches families that every child at times encounters emotions or behavior that can cause problems in their lives. 'This book has an important and powerful message - we must listen to our children, and respond with wisdom and support to their fears and worries, and make use of available specialists to reduce suffering and distress,' says Dr. Joe Beitchman, Clinical Director for the Child Psychiatry Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
