Description
RESILIENT is a deeply personal memoir about life with mental illness, hearing loss and resiliency. Liz’s journey provides encouragement for patients, families, friends and healthcare workers by showing that recovery is possible.
At seventeen, Liz’s world collapses into a place of depression, psychosis and a revolving hospital door. It takes a strong family to help her survive to university life, where she excels despite increasing deafness. But before she can start her career, bipolar disorder - later diagnosed as schizoaffective disorder - returns to threaten all that she has worked towards.
It is up to her family, friends, healthcare workers and herself to push through and get her back on her feet.
Liz shares her story, including her hospitalizations, highlighting the harmful and helpful things she and others have done to get her to where she is now.
Content warning: This book contains content related to suicide, suicidal ideation, self-harm and restraints.
Liz Grace is an occupational therapist and first-time author who is in recovery from schizoaffective disorder. At age sixteen, she gradually lost her hearing and learned American Sign Language (ASL). At twenty-six she recieved surgery for cochlear implants.

Must-read for mental health clinicians!
As an occupational therapist who works in mental health, I am grateful to my professional colleague for writing this book. It elevates my understanding of what I cannot see and what the client cannot express verbally. Compassion, understanding, and communication make all the difference. Thank you, Liz, for this very vulnerable share. Your unique perspective as an OT brings a unique translation of your lived experience that helps clinicians see what they need to see to have the impact they want to have. Hearing the audiobook in the author’s voice is impactful. While she is not a trained narrator, knowing she is the one speaking her story in my ear added an important layer to the experience.
