The books have been curated from a framework of mental health as a holistic, sociocultural experience, which is why topics of trauma, racism, colonialism and more, are included.
This list is meant as a way to learn about mental health, through both a personal, and technical lens. The collection includes adult and young adult fiction of, and about, people dealing with various kinds of mental illness, trauma, and grief. There are also memoirs, graphic novels, and self-help texts. As well as popular, and scholarly non-fiction titles for psychoeducational use. The themes of many of these books can be triggering, please take care when engaging with this material. Reading the description and subject headings of the works can provide more detailed content warnings for each book. Finally, this material is not medical advice or meant to act as a substitute for getting help from a professional. You can find resources and counselling services at the University of Windsor Student Health, Counselling, and Wellness Services.
