Deep-Dive Book Clubs
Fostering clinical growth and professional development through collaborative, supportive discussions. Our goal is to create a shared space for learning, connection, and community among mental health professionals dedicated to serving children and families.
Are you interested in exploring clinical issues related to traumatic stress and culture through thought-provoking books and meaningful discussions? Are you a mental health provider who works with children, teens, and families? You may be a good fit for our book club!
Originally started during the pandemic, our group has fostered insightful conversations and a strong sense of camaraderie ever since. We choose books available on Audible, and there’s no pressure to finish them—our focus is on discussion and shared learning.
