DyerBrent Williams, Wellington, New Zealand - Author of http://geni.us/bwilliams (Out of the Woods), a graphic novel about his journey through depression alongside research and practical self-help strategies. He founded the Wellington Community Law Centre, implemented the Care of Children Act and the Parenting Through Separation Program for the Family Court in NZ, and established the Legal Rights Resources Trust. His narrative is both personal and refreshingly utilitarian at any level. His Evocative BookOut of the Woods is a book to help people understand and overcome depression and anxiety. It is the author's own story told entirely through 700 beautifully hand-drawn watercolor illustrations. It is an immensely practical guide for sufferers, their loved ones, and professionals as well. The book's graphic memoir format blends a compelling personal story with the latest medical research - ideal for people who are in the depths of depression and struggling to read and take on board information.
