No Saints Here

A Cautionary Tale of Mental Illness, Health, and the Cost of Ignorance in the Lone Star State


Aaron Fette lived with mental illness all his life. At age 15, he envisioned himself as a modern-day Jack Kerouac, living an adventure on the road that he would chronicle in his writing. Instead, he found himself fleeing from paranoid delusions that drove him from city to city. As a victim of abuse and someone who perpetuated violence, as a drug addict and alcoholic, and as a survivor of the US justice system, Aaron’s story offers a unique perspective on some of the thorniest issues in our society today. He died of an opioid overdose in a homeless encampment under Interstate 35 in Fort Worth, Texas, on April 2, 2017. His mother, an occupational therapist and college professor, weaves her son’s story into an examination oft he critical crossroads in education, mental health and the judicial system—and offers families in crisis a guide for navigating the often-arcane services.

She teaches about mental health at Texas Woman’s University School of Occupational Therapy.

Claudette became an occupational therapist, seeking to better support youth, families, and people living with mental illness in her community. Her search led her to communities of family advocates and other professionals who were developing best practices in mental health.


When Aaron died of an overdose in 2017, Claudette began transcribing his writing, combining her experience as his mom with evidence-based alternatives. No Saint’s Here: A Cautionary Tale of Mental Illness, Health, and the Cost of Ignorance in the Lone Star State pulls together their experiences and walks through evidence-based mental health practices in early childhood, school mental health, trauma, wraparound, mental health and substance use recovery, and restorative justice.
