About the event

Join our 3-week virtual book study to discuss one mother's recounting of her daughter's fatal overdose, how severe mental health diagnoses were missed by providers, and firsthand accounts from her daughter's journal.

Chronically Strong is committed to encouraging community conversation about the untalkable and shattering perceptions of what mental wellness models must look like. We are dedicated to our belief that people get stronger when their community rallies around them and provides the relational support that all humans need.

While there is a facilitator present, helping to guide the discussion, they do not pretend to have all the answers and the group discussion gets shaped by the participants themselves.

We invite you to dig into this gritty conversation along with us, where there is no judgment, no right or wrong, and an abundance of acceptance.

While this is not designed to be a support group, it is understood that some personal experiences may be shared and therefore we ask all participants to respect group and individual privacy. Who you see here, what you hear here, stays here.

This study is appropriate for ages 16 & up. This study is especially helpful for parents or loved ones of those whom they suspect may be experiencing drug, alcohol or mental health issues. Come and find a virtual connection with others who are trying to "figure it out" just like you.

"Book studies allow for community, but also give space for secondary discussion. Where a support group shares more exclusively personal experiences, the book study lets us focus on the book but then ALSO share personal things if we feel compelled. It may draw a crowd of people who don’t feel comfortable coming thinking they must share their story but than be pleasantly surprised how comfortable they actually are sharing during the book focused discussion." ~Previous Study Participant
