Mind over Monsters: Supporting Youth Mental Health with Compassionate Challenge

eBook; one simultaneous user
(Print book for TLC location is on order)

Highly recommended by Angela Rasmussen (Dec.2023):

"I think the big picture is "compassion challenge" - a way to hold students to a high standard while still providing encouragement and support. Here's my favorite quote (which is actually a quote from another author in the book): “Resilience is a natural outgrowth of support. We don’t build resilience. We get correct care and support, and resilience blooms all on its own.” Karen Costa cited in Sarah Rose Cavanaugh’s Mind Over Monsters, p. 115.

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants

(Print, eBook, & eAudiobook available)

TLC's Community Read! Fall 2023

"As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on "a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise."
