Tina McGuff is the critically acclaimed author of SECONDS TO SNAP. After a very violent event within the family, which led to a traumatic spiral for them all, Tina descended into anorexia from 13 years old and almost lost her life. Sectioned under the mental health act as to be force fed to keep her alive. Spending years living in a psychiatric unit, battling to keep her mind on track for hope of recovery. Finally back into society and the world, learning to find out who she was, finding love and starting a family and a career. Tina's aim now is to get the message out loud and clear that you can have a mentally healthy life, it might be a hard road but you can get there and there is hope. Tina says that modern employers and educational establishments are recognising the benefits of looking after their employees and students mental health as a means of sustaining and thus effecting improved productivity. We all feel so much happier when we are valued and respected. See less
