Anayah Justice Mary Brewington created Growing Through It as her way of reaching back for young people who often feel overlooked when it comes to their mental well-being.

During the mental-health crisis we’re facing across the world, she has made it her mission with this book, to create recognition for when youth mental health issues exceed angst.

Just because you’re young, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve access to real tools, real understanding, and spaces that make feeling better seem possible.

You shouldn’t have to be in a hospital bed to be seen.

This book is also an amazing tool for adults any age. Anayah was not only inspired to write this from her own young adult experience having Borderline Personality Disorder. She also drew inspiration from her years working in dual-diagnosis mental health and addiction recovery. She worked with all ages of people who also struggled to find a book, or even a counselor led group, that actually helped them.

If you ever felt like a self help book forgot about you, this one won’t — Let this book tell you what you can DO with your complex thoughts and emotions so you can start growing through them.
