📚 Therapist’s Book Club with Rachel Carey 📚

We’ve been loving the .therapists.bookclub, hosted monthly online by the incredible Occupational Therapist, Rachel Carey. Each month, Rachel takes us through a different thought-provoking book about child development, creating a space for learning, reflection, and practical takeaways for therapists, teachers, parents, and anyone passionate about supporting children.

Last month, we explored “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness” by Jonathan Haidt, a powerful and eye-opening read. The insights we gained were not only fascinating but deeply relevant to the challenges today’s children face. It’s clear that helping children not just survive but truly thrive will take a shared, intentional effort from parents, teachers, and health professionals working together.

💡 Over the next two posts, we’ll be sharing some of the key takeaways from this important book, along with practical suggestions for what we as parents, teachers, and therapists can do to help.

We can’t wait to see what’s next in Rachel’s Therapist’s Book Club as she continues to lead us through more incredible reads. This welcoming space is open to anyone, parents, teachers, therapists, or anyone passionate about child development—and we highly encourage you to join in!
