Let's keep talking ... through another mental health-focused book club! The Alliance, Naturally Empowered Living and Blanchardville Public Library are pleased to announce our next community read, "Voluntary Madness," by bestselling author Norah Vincent. In it, she recounts committing herself to three different mental health facilities to learn more about the world of mental health care – while struggling to find her own health and happiness.
We’ll gather three times to think through themes, see what we learn as individuals and a group, and encourage more open dialogue about mental health. The first discussion is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. at Blanchardville Public Library!
Check with the library for help securing a hard copy! There are limited copies in the library system, so the library, Naturally Empowered Living and the Alliance have all donated copies to ensure there is a batch available! The book also is available online.
We can't wait to gather to make new connections and foster mental health awareness in our community! See you soon.
