Credits, Thank Yous & Further Reading

So many generous people donated their time and energy to help us set up the LightHeart's UK mental health project and we would like to thank everyone for their support. We are so grateful and so appreciative of all the services, advice, music and videos that have been donated. We'd also like to list the articles and books that we've found useful and which provide valuable further reading resources.

So we'd like to send out a BIG thank you to....(in alphabetical order):
