I, Karen Tyrrell, am an Australian award winning mental health author and teacher, as well as a survivor of Bipolar Disorder. I keep myself resilient on a day to day basis with my pro-active wellness plan.\u00a0\u00a0When I was a teacher, parents at my school bullied me to the breaking point, triggering bipolar disorder. I wrote\u00a0Me and Her: A Memoir of Madness<\/i><\/b>,<\/i>\u00a0this was my journey into and out of bipolar.\u00a0\u00a0Later I published the sequel\u00a0Me and Him: A Guide to Recovery<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0<\/b>two books in one.\u00a0\u00a0Part 1 is a self-help manual with\u00a0<\/b>30 steps to recovery and wellness. Part 2 is a memoir from the caregiver\u2019s perspective revealing the effect bipolar had on my husband, Steve.<\/p>\n

Why I write Mental Health books for Children<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a passionate mental health advocate for children. Prevention is better than cure in my opinion. I write empowering books to lift children\u2019s moods, strengthen their resilience,\u00a0boosting self-esteem and self-confidence.\u00a0I wrote\u00a0Bailey Beats the Blah<\/i><\/b>, an empowering picture book to help kids overcome sad days and worry thoughts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"baily<\/a>BLURB<\/b>: Bailey hates his new school. His tummy aches. He has no friends.<\/p>\n

His dog Fuzzy slobbers all over him. BLAH! How can Bailey change his BLAH to HA-HA-HA?<\/p>\n

I was bullied as a child and as a teacher. Now I\u2019m an anti-bullying campaigner educating children, teaching empathy and resilience.\u00a0My junior novel\u00a0STOP the Bully<\/i><\/b>\u00a0empowers boys and girls with assertive anti-bullying strategies,\u00a0revealing the bullying dilemma from all perspectives.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BLURB:\u00a0<\/b>Eleven year old Brian is hiding something. His life is falling apart. Dad abandoned the family. Brian hates his new school. And now an aggressive bully attacks him every day. Can Brian\u00a0STOP the Bully<\/i><\/b>\u00a0without revealing his shameful secret?<\/p>\n
