Andrew is a believer in the power of narrative to be a therapeutic and cathartic activity. As well as being a creative process, narrative can lead to catharsis and can enable moving on from difficult times. Andrew has produced narrative in text, and has published work with Chipmunka Press and in service user anthologies, such as Mental Health Recovery Heroes Past and Present.’ Andrew has also been encouraged to develop digital cartoons, http://www.slideshare.net/AndrewsAsylumLife. Andrew speaks as an expert by experience at mental health awareness events.
