Our Own Words shows that people experiencing extreme states of mental distress - often termed 'mental illness' - hold diverse perspectives on the nature of their experiences. The writers create meaning within the complex process of navigating ways to live with, through and beyond mental and emotional distress. These stories reveal many counter-narratives: challenges to widespread notions that equate extreme states of emotional distress with illness and pathology; challenges to predominant beliefs about how others ought to respond.

Our Own Words represents a compelling contribution to an emerging 'lived experience' knowledge base. These first-person narratives offer many opportunities for people experiencing mental and emotional distress, service providers, educators, families and communities to foster meaningful, supportive and effective ways of both understanding and responding to these very human experiences.

Great suit at a great value
Size: Large, Color: Black
I have ordered several other suits from the seller for my three boys over the last several years for either their prom, special events and graduations. The fit and value are wonderful. I would definitely recommend this suit if you want something that is classy looking, but won’t break the bank

Fabrics Great, Size a little Big, Overall Pretty Good
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Navy
This suit was truly great, the size for the pants and the vest were pretty on point, maybe a little long for the pants. The jacket was way too big though compared to the rest. Overall pretty good suit for the price, very surprised at the build quality and faabrics.

Nice pants.
Color: Deep Gray, Size: 10
These are nice pants for a boot to wear to a formal event. I got these for my son to wear to a wedding. They fit him good and he said they were comfortable. The material seems decent for the price. He wore them one before out growing them but that is expected with kids.
