"Jan Stewart never thought she would live with fear in her own house.
Hold

Tight
: A Parent’
s
Journey
Raising
Children
with
Mental
Illness
describes her raw and emotional
journey
raising
two
children
with multiple
mental
health disorders. Jan details the roller coaster lives and challenges that both
children
have faced in detail, from the time they were born to the present as young adults in their 30s. Pulling no punches, Jan describes moments of terrifying fear, pain, and hopelessness, as well as of awe, pride, and hope. The roller coaster ride never stops. While brutally honest,
Hold
on
Tight
is a love song to Jan’
s
children
. The book educates and empowers parents so that both they and their
children
can lead more fulfilling lives. Healthcare professionals, as well as families, friends, educators, employers, and others who interact with these families, get an inside look into the lives and unique perspectives of these parents. Compelling parental advice includes: • Trust your gut. • Persevere in identifying the right professionals, diagnoses, and treatments. • Insist on an integrated partnership approach with all those involved in each child’
s
care."--Publisher.
