A new book called "Firewalkers" chronicles the experience of living through a mental health crisis. As itseditors describe:
Firewalkers is the story of people who have experienced extreme mental states and through this experience, have learned things they never expected to learn and become people they never expected to be.
The book was created by the Virginia Organization of Consumers Asserting Leadership (VOCAL), a statewide nonprofit organization of people in mental health recovery.
