]]> The Lighthouse is a story that strives to start and continue important conversations around mental health, which opens a door to understanding, compassion and support. It is written in such a way to start a general conversation, while reinforcing the lighthouse as a symbolic emblem of resilience and hope. By initiating such conversations, we allow individuals struggling with their mental health to know that it’s okay to not be okay. We also are able to foster a culture of empathy, where reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. These conversations spark a positive ripple effect, creating a society where mental health is a priority and where no one struggles alone.

A portion of each book sale will be donated in support of the National Canadian Mental Health Association.
