How to help your child with mental illness through partnering, not parenting.

Never Let Go is a supportive and practical guide for parents looking after a child with a mental illness. Suzanne Alderson understands the agonising struggle of bringing a child back from the brink of suicide, having spent three years supporting her own daughter through recovery. Her method of 'partnering, not parenting' has now helped thousands of other parents through her charity, Parenting Mental Health.

Combining Suzanne's honest personal experience with expert input from psychologists, this book provides parents with the methods and knowledge they need to support, shield and strengthen their child as they progress towards recovery. Chapters include a background to the mental health epidemic, why a new method of parenting is crucial, how to change your thinking about mental health and practical advice on solutions to daily problems including accepting the new normal, dealing with others and looking after yourself as well as your child.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Essential reading

As a parent of a child with mental health problems, this book has given us hope. Our journey may be different but knowing we are not alone has made it a little easier. The information covered in this book is practical and very helpful. You can feel the emotion as Suzanne reads certain parts, she has lived through this, she understands, she is reaching out to help other parents get through this together. I would recommend this book to any parent whose child is showing signs of mental illness, I would even suggest you tell family to read it too! To give them more information to enable them to be as supportive as they can.

This is an amazing source of sound, practical advice on how to build a lasting connection with your child that will sustain you both. Hearing it read by the author as an audiobook is especially powerful- you feel “held” as she gently - but clearly - points you to a path that you know will lead you to a better way of parenting. Thank you so much.

Wonderful- the book I have needed for so long
