"Lisa Zarcone, author of ""The Unspoken Truth,"" and I connected months after I broke my silence and went public about my history of surviving childhood sexual abuse. I reached out to her several years ago, after hearing about her book and her tireless advocacy on behalf of warriors fighting to reclaim their lives. Her next book, "" The Book of Joann,"" is an honest, powerful read about the impact of having a mother who struggled with mental illness. Lisa promised her mother that she would share her story to help the world gain deeper understanding of mental illness and its profound impact on others. I continue to be inspired by Lisa's bravery and determination and how she uses her experience of surviving childhood trauma to help so many others. Shari Botwin, LCSW, author of Thriving After Trauma and upcoming book, Stolen Childhoods. (www.sharibotwin.com) Lisa Zarcone is a true advocate of Mental Health for all. She stops at nothing to help people avoid struggling with mental health or helping those who are currently struggling to navigate through their tough times. Whether it's a motivational post on social media or one of her awesome written articles, Lisa has a story that needs to be told and heard by others. She is a special person who has been chosen to make change in the world to help people with their Mental Health journey. Lisa and I met on social media and travel down the same path. We always hope that our voices and messages are heard by all. Eric Daddario - Youth Mental Health advocate Speaker Lisa Zarcone is a remarkable, courageous woman, mental health and child abuse advocate whom I've had the pleasure of getting to know, respect and admire. She was a featured guest on my Power Your Life Radio Show revealing her personal experiences with her mother's mental health illness and its impact on her as a child in The Unspoken Truth memoir. Despite how difficult it was to share her experiences, Lisa wanted to bring awareness to mental health challenges and protect the safety of others, especially children. It's no accident that our paths have crossed. I have been an advocate for children and youth with special needs, anti-bullying and neurodiversity to bring more acceptance, understanding and inclusion for people stigmatized by their differences. Our connection over time has deepened. I am excited that Lisa's new book ""The Book of Joann"" is based on a promise given to her mother: To disclose her mother's story of mental illness and how it affected her life and that of Lisa, her child. Through authentic stories, people can see firsthand the debilitating effects of mental illness, gain awareness and support mental health and child abuse safety. We can only shift and shape what we know. For too long, mental illness and child abuse were kept hidden. Now is the time to awaken people so real change can take place.
