Tacit Knowledge is excited to present our first ever Mental Wellness Book Club Program.  Book Therapy (also known as Bibliotherapy) is a type of counselling that focuses on leveraging the power of stories to heal.  Individuals come together to read and discuss the highlights from a book chosen specifically to bring them hope and comfort, especially as a balance to a life that can sometimes seem quite challenging.

Join us every Tuesday evening at 6:30pm, from September 12th to October 10th, inclusive.  This 5-week Program is offered via Zoom and is a terrific opportunity for participants to come together and find creative ideas and strategies that promote a healthy well-being.

The first book we have selected to read for our Mental Wellness Book Club Program is The Comfort Book – by Matt Haig.  This book has been written “for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of a little encouragement.” (Goodreads).  It has been used by therapists as a Bibliotherapy resource for people struggling with depression, or who are feeling a little lost or defeated in their life.

The book we have selected is already broken into 4 parts – one segment will be addressed in each of the first 4 sessions of the Program. Participants are encouraged to pre-read the appropriate segment on their own, before each meeting.  (But don’t worry if you fall behind in your reading – we will be enjoying selected excerpts from the bock together, in each meeting, and our discussions will focus on these parts especially.)  The 5^th and final week of the Program will be dedicated to an overall review/discussion of the book as a whole, and for the provision of additional therapeutic strategies/exercises that the participants can continue to use independently, after the Program has ended.

Everyone is welcome to join us for this Program – you DO NOT have to be a resident of Beaumont to attend.  You can participate for all of some of the sessions, as you are able.

There is a small registration fee for this 5 week Mental Wellness Book Club Program – $50.00 plus GST (total cost is $52.50).  Participants can etransfer this payment to Tacit, and then their spot will be reserved.  Spaces are limited – there are only 10 seats available in each of Tacit’s Group Bibliotherapy Programs.
