The journey home [videorecording] : family experiences in mental health recovery / by Clarfield, Stuart,film director,film producer.; Mission Media Enterprises,film distributor.;
'The Journey Home' is a documentary film that gathers the experiences and insights of family members in their own words, to provide an intimate glimpse into the journey their families take in facing a mental health challenge. We interviewed 30 family members, from a range of communities, condition types and relationships that include parents, sons & daughters, brothers and sisters, spouses and practitioners. We have created a compilation of family experiences from first onset, through diagnosis, seeking care, life adjustment, family member reactions, challenges of coping and of course reaching a stage of healing and recovery. The film is a conversation and exploration of key aspects of experience and hope viewers see their own experience mirrored in our film.E.DVD.

What the kite saw / by Carter, Anne Laurel,1953-; Düzakin, Akin,1960-;
In this memorable story, a young boy finds solace flying his kite from the rooftop after soldiers take his father and brother away. Without his father and brother, the young boy<U+2019>s life is turned upside down. He and his family have to stay inside, along with everyone else in town. At suppertime, he can<U+2019>t stop looking at the two empty places at the table and his sister can<U+2019>t stop crying. The boy looks out the window and is chilled to see a tank<U+2019>s spotlight searching the park where he plays with his friends. He hears shouts and gunshots and catches sight of someone running in the street <U+2014> if only they could fly away, he thinks. Each day the curfew is lifted briefly, and the boy goes to the park to see his friends. One day, inspired by the wind in the trees, he has an idea. Back at home he makes a kite, and that night he flies it from his rooftop, imagining what it can see.LSC
