MENTAL ILLNESS ADVOCACY (MIA) READING CHALLENGE


Hosted by: Opinions of a Wolf.



Reading to raise awareness, knowledge, and acceptance of mental illness, both fiction (books featuring characters with a mental illness depicted in a sympathetic light) and nonfiction (from self-help books to academic books on the topic). No book read for the challenge may demonize the mentally ill.
