The Other Road Counseling will be hosting a virtual parenting book group on the second Sunday of the month beginning over Zoom at 7:30pm. Bibliotherapy is a creative arts therapy centered around the use of books as being learning tools or relational sources, aiding in the understanding and processing of mental health and personal growth concepts. The books we read will center themes of raising children, parental needs and mental health, family undertanding and support, and more.
