"I have had a long association with Mary Tidyman and have always admired her hard work, her values and her standards. For the past 3 years, Mary has edited NIMHE's newsletter Mental Health Promotion Update. Her years of experience in mental health promotion and extensive network of contacts have been major factors in the success of this very popular publication."
