With the abundance of incredible books on the topic of mental illness and mental health, we’ve launched our #BraveBookClub to celebrate some of our favorite reads with our This Is My Brave family.
“Reading was one way I found stories from individuals dealing with the exact same thing I was facing and reading their stories helped me to better understand my condition,” Jennifer Marshall shared. “Memoirs written by individuals living with bipolar disorder, like Kay Jamison’s An Unquiet Mind, taught me that it was possible to lead a fulfilling life despite this life-long diagnosis.”
Each month, This Is My Brave will select a book as the monthly pick, and it will be announced in our e-newsletter at the start of the month. If you’re not already subscribed, now is a great time to sign up to stay in the loop on what we’re reading!

From the Amazon.com description of the book:
A licensed family therapist and You Tube personality, Kati Morton answers the most commonly asked questions about mental health, including when to get help and where to find it.
Everyone struggles with mental health issues from time to time, but the greatest level of misunderstanding comes from knowing the difference between mental health and mental illness, figuring out whether we need professional help and, if so, how to find it. Are u ok? walks readers through the most commonly asked questions about mental health and the process of getting help. From finding the best therapist to navigating harmful and toxic relationships and everything in between, licensed family therapist and YouTube sensation Kati Morton clarifies and de-stigmatizes the struggles so many of us go through, and encourages readers to reach out for help. What are the red flags of a mental health issue? How do you go about making a first therapy appointment? How do you know if your therapist is a good fit for you? What are the best ways of talking about mental health with your family, friends and colleagues? There are so many questions and concerns, and in the down-to-earth, friendly tone that makes Kati Morton so popular on YouTube, Are u ok? informs and reminds us that we can get through the difficult times and we are never alone.
