Most Read This Week In Mental Illness

[close] This book club is for mental health-related materials that benefit and educate our community.

[close] I'm challenging myself to diversifying my reading list in 2024. When it comes to reading, I stay in my fluffy fiction comfort zone because my work reading can get very serious and depressing. But work has dried up at the moment and I've decided to seize this as an opportunity to step out of that comfort zone and expose myself to the variety of authors out there. I'm making this space to keep myself accountable and if others want to join, that's great! Diversification can look different depending on your positionality. For me, I'm seeking authors outside the white, straight, neurotypical, North American experience. This is what I have so far: January: neurodivergent author February: South Asian author March: Asian author April: LGBTQ+ author May: African author June: book about mental illness July: Transgender author August: South American author September: Disabled author October: Black or African American author November: Middle Eastern author December: Oceanic author (Photo taken from Flickr: https://flickr.com/photos/aadl/6777694048/)

[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
