<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This new book by Erin Hawkes-Emiru brings neuroscience to life by postulating why neuroanatomy</p><p>and neurochemicals matter when you are living with mental illness and addiction. Erin, whose graduate</p><p>education is in Neuroscience, works as a peer support worker in Vancouver, Canada; the stories told in</p><p>this book are those of her clients. Erin's empathy for her clients is built on her own diagnosis of</p><p>schizophrenia. In this book, she opens for the layman the neuroscience that may underlie not only the</p><p>symptoms of mental illness and addiction, but also mental health more broadly.</p><p><br></p><p>Erin Hawkes-Emiru holds an MSc in Neuroscience. She was the recipient of multiple scholarships, </p><p>including two Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada awards. In 2002, Erin</p><p>was diagnosed with schizophrenia and went on to be hospitalized 14 times. Finally, antipsychotic</p><p>medication helped her regain wellness, stability, and hope. Her memoir, When Quietness Came: A</p><p>Neuroscientist's Personal Journey With Schizophrenia, was published in 2012. Erin was awarded the</p><p>prestigious Courage to Come Back award in 2019 from Vancouver Coastal Health. Since 2013, Erin's</p><p>work on the ACT team has been highly valued by her clients and colleagues.
