By Mark Marley and Lynda Smith

In "The ESA Blueprint: Your Path to Pet-Friendly Housing," US Marine Corps Combat veteran Mark Marley, diagnosed with PTSD, joins forces with licensed therapist Lynda Smith to craft a lifeline for individuals grappling with mental health challenges. This book is a testament to Marley's mission to combat the heart-wrenching issue of veteran suicides, which, as reported by the Veterans Administration, tragically numbers as high as 18 per day and is on the rise. Through his advocacy for mental health, particularly among veterans, Marley aims to bring solace and support to his comrades through the healing power of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs). The book serves as a heartfelt guide, rich with personal experiences, expert legal advice, and therapeutic wisdom. It meticulously guides readers through the nuances of ESAs, from understanding their critical role in mental health to obtaining the essential ESA Letter. Marley and Smith distinguish between ESAs and service animals, navigate the complexities of the Fair Housing Act, and provide invaluable tips for traveling with an ESA. With chapters that answer frequently asked questions and a conclusion emphasizing the journey toward mental wellness, the book is a robust resource for those seeking the comforting presence of an ESA. It advocates for the rights of ESA owners, warns against misleading practices, and supports readers in choosing the right ESA companion. "The ESA Blueprint" is more than a guide--it's a passionate call to action for mental health awareness and an urgent address to the mental health crisis among veterans. Through their shared expertise, Marley and Smith have created a pivotal resource for enhancing the lives of veterans and civilians alike with the support of ESAs.
