"Working Assets: A Career Guide for Peers" is a groundbreaking handbook on finding and succeeding at a job with a mental illness. Christina Bruni, M.S., shares her own experience and extensive resources to give peers the confidence, self-compassion, and insider insight to get a job using tactics that not many non-disabled individuals are aware of.
