And welcome to the Reading Club!

My name is Robin Casey, and I'm a licensed psychologist in Marietta, Georgia. I started the "Going Mad" reading club to de-stigmatize conversations about mental health, offer a way for people to learn about free resources, and foster meaningful connections. Some of these aspirations feel daunting. Fortunately, I relate to Alice in that "sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast." 

​

​So what is a mental health reading club? Well, it's kind of like a book club, but a little different. We get together once a month at various coffee shops to talk about writings related to mental health. There are no assigned readings. Instead, everyone is invited to bring something they’re reading (or read once upon a time) that relates to mental health. It could be a non-fiction book, a novel, a short story, or a collection of poems. It could be a recent journal article you stumbled upon and found helpful. Almost any written work relates to mental health, so you're welcome to bring whatever feels meaningful to you. This is a way for people to get to know one another and see a glimpse into someone else's story. Everyone has a story. 

​​

​I hope you'll join us for a meeting! It would be nice to connect with you, chat about books, and do some good. So what do you say? Let’s “Get Mad" together. 

​

Happy reading, 

Robin
