Sticks and Stones is very readable and accessible, written with a warmth and passion. Butterfield takes us on a personal journey from his humble beginnings in the north east and charts the significant events in his early life which set him on a career in the mental health field and also provide the trigger for his own depression. Butterfield is a professional writing from the heart and is a tireless campaigner, raising awareness in schools to destigmatize mental health problems.Thoroughly recommended
