Mental Health

[close] Join us for meetings where we decide on self-help books to read and go through agreed upon pages/chapters for each meeting. During these meetings, we will have the opportunity to explore how these books pertain to our lives, the lessons we've learned from them and discuss the significance of what these books can mean to us. Whether you are a self-help book reader, someone wanting to learn more about mental health or just someone looking for a community with support, everyone is welcome. Through this group, the hope is for everyone to feel supported, understood and to learn more when it comes to our mental health and wellness If you are interested in joining this book club or want more information on it, please reach out via text or call (631)600-0188 or email KHarrisonTherapy@outlook.com

[close] Hi! This group is for people struggling with mental illnesses. Please don’t post anything graphic. This isn’t about forcing people to recover- it’s about supporting each other and ourselves. There is never “not enough time” or “not enough resources” for you to get help. We are all here together, gathered in one place. You can meet people here and know that they have also struggled (or are struggling), and you won’t feel so alone anymore. You’ll meet people who get you.

[close] Welcome to **Women of the Written Word** 💫📚 This group was created as a space for women who love books and meaningful conversations. Stories have a way of helping us understand ourselves, process emotions, and sometimes feel a little less alone. Here we read everything from romance and fantasy to books that explore mental health, healing, and the complicated parts of life. Whether you love dramatic slow burns, emotional stories, or books that completely stay with you long after the last page, you belong here. This community is built on kindness, respect, and women supporting women. Everyone’s experiences and perspectives are different, so please treat each other with empathy and care. A few gentle reminders: • Be respectful and kind to everyone. • No bullying, harassment, or judgment. • Personal stories shared here should stay within the group. • This group is a supportive community, but it is not a place for professional mental health advice. If you're new, feel free to introduce yourself in the **Introduce Yourself** discussion. You can share your favorite books, what you're currently reading, or simply say hello. Thank you for being part of this space. May this group be full of good books, thoughtful conversations, and a little comfort when it’s needed most. Happy reading 💫
