“Silent Heroes” is a welcome entry to the field of books intended to support and encourage those families who have a loved one suffering from a mental illness. It is factual, enlightening, practical, and a good read. It grabs the reader’s attention, and provides much needed information.

“The most significant challenge to building an effective mental health system is stigma.
Overcoming stigma will require an unprecedented public education campaign which tells people, there is no shame in seeking help, services work, and people with mental illness must have every opportunity to be full and contributing members in our communities. Maureen Focht’s moving book “Silent Heroes” is exactly the kind of stigma buster which tells the stories which must be told.”
Darrell Steinberg
Author of California's Proposition 63, The Metal Health Services Act
Chairman of Proposition 63 Oversight and Accountability Commission
“Written
from moving personal life experiences, this enjoyable reading book

through the healing process.”

“I learned so much about schizophrenia and mental illness
from Maureen’s experience.
Silent Heroes is a wonderful guideline in dealing with children
that come from similar environments."

"I
was excited that this book was written because it spoke to me on
a personal and professional level. My work with clients that have
schizophrenia and bipolar disorders has now been further deepened
by understanding this compelling book. I liked it!"
