When you look at the list there are several titles that are great for children to read to build a greater understanding of those who have different challenges than maybe they face, Wonder and Out Of My Mind are two such books.
The Soul's Plan is a wonderful book that I turn to often to put my challenges as a caregiver into perspective and find a measure of peace when it seems hard to find.
When I first came out as a caregiver I needed to dive into a 'darker place' to understand and identify in a deep way with the struggle. Now I reread these same books to see the progress that many of our peer advocates, clients, professionals and loved ones have fought for! These books include: The Lives They Left Behind: Suitcases from a State Hospital Attic, Gracefully Insane: Life and Death Inside America's Premier Mental Hospital & Danvers State: Memoirs of A Nurse In The Asylum.
A Year By The Sea was just a beautiful read of a woman's journey...I hope you enjoy it!
Some memoirs that may help give a better understanding of our loves ones battles: The Memory Place, The Day The Voices Stopped, All That is Bitter & Sweet: A Memoir & Will Love 4 Crumbs.
Stop Walking on Eggshells is a fantastic and affirming read on setting boundaries.
The Reason I Jump is on my nightstand, highly recommended and I can't wait to dive in!
Enjoy!!
