FACE Mental Illness

Sharon Fawcett

Sharon FawcettMeet Sharon Fawcett. Sharon is a writer and speaker from New Brunswick who enjoys cycling, reading memoirs, and nature. With the love and support of her family, Sharon survived a three-year battle with anorexia nervosa and nine years of major clinical depression. Though she received excellent medical care for her mental illness—including eighty weeks as a patient in hospital psychiatric wards—Sharon’s pathway to healing ultimately came through addressing her illness’ spiritual roots. Since her recovery more than nine years ago, Sharon has become a bold ambassador of hope for those whose lives are touched by mental illness. She has been interviewed on national television and radio, published articles on eating disorders and depression, and written a book entitled, Hope for Wholeness: The Spiritual Path to Freedom from Depression. Sharon says, “There is no shame in having mental illness; the real shame is that people are suffering in silence when help and support are available.”
Recovery is possible.
