Social Work

[close] Death Cafe is a continuation of the in person Death Cafe movement. Our mission is simple at the events: No agenda, no ideology, no promotion, no "educating" others. In death, we are all beginners. Let's try the same thing here. Because this is a website dedicated to books, our discussions here may end up being more narrow than in person events.

[close] The members of Therapist Book Club works together to make the club happen: members recommend books, members vote on what they want to read and members host local chapter meetings and discussions all while engaging in the national conversation. Through monthly book selection and discussions we aim to better ourselves as service providers while learning new techniques and interventions, networking, socializing and learning from our peers.
