Behind Happy Faces

Mental health is important for everyone, but the truth is, sometimes it's hard to talk about it or admit you're having problems. Behind Happy Faces takes on the most common emotional concerns expressed by millions of young adults. Our hope is that this book will give you the courage to address the issues that have kept you from living the life you want, the courage to stop pretending that everything is OK (even when it's not), and more importantly, to stop hiding your true emotions...behind a happy face.
