The Healing Shelf

Welcome to The Healing Shelf: A Therapy Fund Book Club

Where reading becomes healing

About the Club

The Healing Shelf is a year-long collective reading journey hosted by the Therapy Fund Foundation. Together, we’ll explore seven powerful books centered on Black history, mental health, identity, and collective liberation. Some books we move through slowly over several months; others align with key moments like Black History Month and Reclaiming Wellness Month.

How We Meet

💻 Zoom gatherings for reflection and connection + a private facebook group.

💬 Prompts and discussions in our online community

🤎 Optional in-person meetups around major books and events

What We Read

Stories that speak to history, healing, and hope from powerful memoirs to culturally responsive mental health works by Black authors and thought leaders.

Participation Guidelines

• Come as you are no pressure to finish every book.

• Be respectful, open, and willing to listen.

• Protect the space: confidentiality and compassion first.

• Engage at your own pace; every voice matters.

• Encourage others as this is a judgment-free healing space.
