[close] All 16 and older are welcome. This book club focuses on books with a mental health lean. These books have all been read by The Villain Esteem Team. We have an optional Facebook group as well in order to provide access across multiple platforms increasing the accessibility. *Trigger warnings will be provided.

[close] I'm giving away 60 books --> 10 signed copies of 6 different books from January 15, 2013 to February 11, 2013, including my new release, the mysterious Saving Grace! While the giveaways are going on, I'm hosting an "Ask Me Something" discussion. Your questions can be about me, Saving Grace, or any of my other books. I Skype by appointment with book clubs, so message me to book your event. Pamela p.s. This is the first time I've set up a group or a discussion, so bear with me!

[close] 1 in [8 to 15] kids have a learning difference, like dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia (handwriting), dyscalculia (math), auditory processing disorder, or sensory processing disorder. Other children have challenges with slow processing, executive function, social skills, or working memory. It's easy for these kids to fall through the cracks, but there are books to help! This group is for parents of children who have problems learning in school, even if it seems like "nothing." The author of Fine Until Kindergarten: A Parent's First Guide to Learning Differences shares some of her source books and looks for input from other parents.

[close] Are you living with a disability, or know someone who is? Do you or someone you love struggle with a mental health condition like anxiety, schizophrenia, depression, or Asperger's syndrome? Or are you a student or professional in the field of disability or mental health? Then this book club might be for you! I'm hoping to use this Goodreads group as a public forum for discussions around the issues of disability, marginalization, freedom and dissent. In my opinion, issues of disability are intimately connected to the preservation of the social freedoms we all enjoy, as well as our continuing prosperity. If we could get the conversation around disability (physical, emotional and mental) right, many of the social problems we grapple with as a society would vanish. In this group, we'll read first-person narratives of disability and dissent, classics in the areas of political philosophy and metaphysics, and books on current and historical events. Particularly of interest are Western political philosophers from the 18th century onward, narratives of resistance (both fiction and nonfiction), comparative religion, and historical books about the Nazis. A little about me: My name is Helen, and I'm the founder of Grey Shaman Press, an indie press that aims to further the public conversation around disability issues, mental health and human rights. My work includes e-books, journalism and online courses that will soon be offered on our websites and other platforms like Amazon. To keep up with me, visit me at https://greyshamanpress.com (currently under construction). Leave your e-mail address for special updates and access to discounts, events and free e-goodies! You can also check me out on Facebook at https://greypriestessabbey.com, or on Twitter @greyshaman33. Finally, I'm on Parler @greyshamanpress. My personal webpage is at https://helenoneil.com, where I talk about my work as a writer, educator and shaman. Welcome!
