    Reviews Elsewhere – 10 Best Mental Health Books That Will Completely Change Your Life

    ByMikeM July 10, 2020July 10, 2020 Reading Time: 1 minute

    OK the headline is a bit of a misnomer, it’s more like 10 little mini-reviews. And, I don’t know if these will necessarily change your life, because that’s a pretty steep claim to make about a book. On the other hand, this list does seem to have some pretty good books in it, some I’ve read or heard of before, some others I had not. So, there may be something on this list that catches your eye and you may want to check out. 

    As Pauline says in the intro:

    Mental health is a massive struggle in the United States. Add in quarantine, school, work, bullying, social media, bills, and so many other factors, and sometimes your head isn’t as quick to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Whether you struggle with mental illness or you want to educate yourself – here are 10 of the best mental health books that can completely change your life

    It’s always better to be educated about mental health, but right now? It might be the difference between helping yourself or someone you love, and being completely helpless. 

    Try not to be helpless when so many resources are available. 

    Have you read any of the books on this list? What book would you add that did actually change your life?

    Sharing – Rape trial juror won’t report her own attack after victim’s ‘horrific’ treatment

    ByMikeM July 7, 2020July 7, 2020 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    This is pretty terrible.

    “She has admitted that she is prepared to let her attacker go free because she fears going through the same ordeal in the witness box.

    She said: “It was horrific to see what this poor woman was put through and, as a result, I’ll never report the man who raped me.

    “I was attacked six weeks after that case and it’s because I saw that woman being ripped apart on the stand that I’ll never come forward.

    “I couldn’t endure what that woman went through in court. I couldn’t face all the questions she was asked and the judgment that was placed on her.”

    Sharing – Men, Mental Health and the Workplace

    ByMikeM July 6, 2020July 6, 2020 Reading Time: 1 minute

    This is actually a three part video series, and I wanted to share them all because I think there’s a lot of good stuff in the discussion about men’s mental health, and why it’s not something we talk about enough. In them Graham Goulden and Toni White, break down some of the reasons for that,…

    ByMikeM July 3, 2020July 2, 2020 Reading Time: 1 minute

    I saw this, and tweeted about it last night, but also wanted to link it here for posterity:

    https://www.suicidestop.com/call_a_hotline.html

    More suicide prevention hotlines than I’ve ever seen collected in one place.

    This also serves as a good reminder of my birthday fundraiser for the AFSP, I’m in the US so that is what I would direct people who want to help me celebrate or say thank you for running this site over the years, but if you aren’t in the US, I totally get wanted to support something local for you as well, so here’s a list of suicide prevention resources all over the world. If you want to support my birthday wish to raise money for suicide prevention but do it in your own country, please do. Then come back and let me know that you did. That will mean as much as anyone donating or sharing my fundraiser.

    Since it is July 1, and as we continue to recognize the mental health needs related to recent events, let alone historic events, it seems almost perfectly timed for it to be what MHA is now referring to as BIPOC Mental Health Month. I’ll let them explain the origin and the name change: Formally recognized…
