Mental Wellness
Mental health is the foundation for emotions, thinking, communication, learning, resilience, hope and self-esteem. It is also key to relationships, personal and emotional well-being and contributing to community or society. Many people who have a mental illness do not want to talk about it. But having a mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of! It is a medical condition, just like heart disease or diabetes and is treatable. As we are continually expanding our understanding of how the human brain works, treatments are available to help people successfully manage mental health conditions. While mental illness can occur at any age, three-fourths of all mental illness begins by age 24.

W.M.H.B.C – WAIH’s Mental Health Book Club
Women must have a safe environment to discuss, inspire, and support each other, in order to foster a sense of community. As part of WAIH’s mission, we will provide women a welcoming environment to learn and grow through connecting, sharing stories, knowledge, and lessons through our book club. From each book, we will journey together through the pages providing hope, healing, freedom, and fun, and we will do it one book at a time.
