Books with Mental Health as a Theme
Below are just a few books that may be a "Mirror" for you - they reflect back what you are thinking or feeling. Some books may be a "Window" that allows you to see inside another person's experiences and build empathy for them. Please read with care and be aware of any possible triggers.
