Here’s the plan
Three ways to start walking — no pressure to do all three at once.
Start with free ebooks and courses

Seek and you will find
Type a topic in the search bar, click the tags at the end of any post, or choose one of the seven topic buttons above. Or contact me and ask a question — I respond to every email.
Give a little back
If you find what I’ve created helpful, consider giving a little gift. This website relies on people like you.

Barry Pearman has been a mental health support worker, chaplain, and pastor for almost 30 years, and someone who’s walked through depression himself.
