As a kind, chatty, and good-humoured man with a zest for life and a
passion for helping people, Chris Young adored his job as a social
worker. But things fell apart when, in 2008, he was diagnosed with
borderline personality disorder. His illness brought about the end
of his calling and he found himself in need of a new project and
purpose. And so it came to be that in 2011 Chris began a campaign
called Walk a Mile In my Shoes. He walks around the edge of the UK
- the edge of society being where many people with mental health
problems feel they are - without spending any money and relying on
the kindness of strangers. In 2015 he joined forces with See Me
Scotland to distil the success of the coastal walk into a series of
events, inviting other people to join him and discuss mental
health. He encouraged them to literally walk a mile in each other's
shoes. Walk a Mile: Tales of a Wandering Loon is the story of how a
normal, nurturing childhood turned into one of neglect and abuse
and how this, combined with a little faulty brain wiring, lead to a
severe and enduring mental illness. It is also the story of one
man's journey towards tackling mental health stigma, one step at a
time. Trigger are proud to announce Theinspirationalseries partner
to their innovative Pullingthetriggerrange. Theinspirationalseries
promotes the idea that mental illness should be talked about freely
and without fear. Find out more at www.triggerpublishing.com
