In partnership with Creative Mental Wellness, DAISY’s Deep Reads is an in-person book club where mental health meets the magic of books. Each month, we’ll explore a new book that dives into topics like mental wellness, behavioral health, trauma, resilience, or substance use.
This isn’t just about reading—it’s about reflecting, connecting, and healing within our community. Whether it’s a memoir, insightful guide, or narrative nonfiction, each selection is carefully chosen to spark thoughtful conversation and inspire personal growth.

- Combat loneliness. Group discussion nurtures a sense of belonging and shared experience.
- Promote empathy. Hearing others’ insights fosters understanding and emotional intelligence.
