Thank you to Valley Youth House for the opportunity to speak about the importance of books and reading on our collective mental health. Happy Book Month! Take time to slow down, read, and, of course, visit your local library!
Welcome back to another episode of The Prevention Platform! 🎙️
It is October, which means fall is officially here. Crisp air, cozy sweaters, and best of all, National Book Month! To celebrate, we are diving into the heart of our local community's reading world.
We're joined by Ali Finkbeiner, who has been leading the helm at the Hellertown Area Library for the past two years. She discusses the mental health benefits of reading, how books can equip youth with better coping mechanisms, and more.
