Testimonials for Taking Back Control:

 

"This book (Taking Back Control) is a no nonsense, common sense good read for people who want to make a positive change in their lives.  It is a good reference for families and people suffering from mental health or addictions who want some simple guidance about how to turn things around...beneficial to both the caregivers and the person looking to take back control.  It's good for us all to look at both sides of the coin."
