AAAL Book Club – Mental Health Conversations
A mental wellness-focused book club is a community of individuals who come together to explore and discuss literature that revolves around mental health, wellness, and illness. The club’s primary objective is to promote understanding, empathy, and awareness of mental well-being through the lens of literature.
In this book club, members will be exposed to books that cover a wide range of topics related to mental health, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, addiction, self-care, resilience, and personal growth. The chosen books may include memoirs, self-help guides, fiction, non-fiction, or poetry that provide insights into the human experience of mental wellness or illness.
The club will typically meet regularly, either in person or virtually, to engage in thoughtful discussions about the selected book. These discussions allow members to share their perspectives, reflections, and personal experiences related to the themes and characters portrayed in the literature. It provides a safe and supportive environment for open dialogue, where members can learn from each other and gain new insights into mental health.
Additionally, our mental wellness-focused book club will also incorporate supplementary activities to enhance the reading experience. This could include inviting guest speakers, hosting author Q&A sessions, organizing related workshops or events, or even engaging in creative activities inspired by the books.
By centering the book club around mental wellness or illness, members can deepen their understanding of mental illness topics, challenge stigmas, and foster a sense of community and support. The shared reading experience can be both educational and therapeutic, offering a platform for personal growth and connection with others who have similar interests and experiences.
To sum up, our mental wellness-focused book club provides a space for individuals to explore literature that promotes mental well-being, encourages open conversations, and contributes to a greater understanding of mental health issues in society. This course will also enhance your listening skills.
Remote location – Wednesdays
