“Debbie did an amazing job through her story of portraying the barriers to accessing mental health care. Her story paints an accurate picture of the roller coaster that many families feel they can never get off of, while on the journey to recovery with their loved ones. Her family story is one of resiliency even in incredibly difficult times. Had the family had the psychoeducational resources then that we have now, maybe the outcome would have been different.”

Something is Not Quite Right …

“It was Thursday, September 29, 1983, and I woke up completely exhausted. The sun was shining but it felt cloudy to me. I had not had much sleep that last week. My family was experiencing a lot of turmoil and confusion. I felt sick to my stomach, not like the flu, but like you know in your heart that something is terribly wrong...”

This excerpt comes from the new book Silent Voices, a suspenseful and riveting drama that delves into the consequences of a mental illness left untreated – and the family it forever impacts. Author Debbie Nau Redmond wrote Silent Voices to create a platform to give “voice” to those families like her own deeply affected by mental illness such as Schizophrenia – the disease that wreaked havoc on the mind of her brother Ricky Nau and caused his descent into madness that ended in a terrible family tragedy not to be forgotten.

Silent Voices is now available for $14.95 in soft-cover edition on this website or by going to Amazon or 3L Publishing at www.3LPublishing.com. An eBook version will be available in the fall of 2011. For more information, send an email to Debbie Nau Redmond at DNR03@silent-voices.com.

Debbie is also a qualified speaker and available for groups, events and conferences. Invite her to speak to your group by sending email to DNR03@silent-voices.com.
