Join us Wednesday, January 8th* for our next Cactus Book Club. We’re excited to have the Crisis Resource Centers (CRC) as our featured monthly organization. They will lead the discussion on What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma by Stephanie Woo. “Powerful, enlightening, and hopeful, What My Bones Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body—and examines one woman’s ability to reclaim agency from her trauma”

Crisis Resource Centers “are an innovative, highly personalized response to people experiencing a crisis precipitated by mental illness, substance abuse, trauma or the challenges of living in hard economic times. The community-based CRCs offer a 24/7 alternative to emergency room or inpatient hospitalization & provide recovery-focused assessment, connection to robust community supports, timely access to mental health care, a trauma-informed approach, psychosocial groups & peer support, and a home-like environment”. Call 414-643-8778 for more information.

Cactus Book Club (CBC) meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 5:30-7:30 in the back room at Cactus Club. Each month a different community organization, collective, mutual aid group, or business chooses the book & recommended bookseller then leads the discussion. We read sociopolitical fiction and non-fiction, with a focus on works by women, LGBTQ+, POC, and/or otherwise under-published groups. You don’t have to finish reading the book to attend. All book club meetings are free. No registration required. 18+. CBC is part of our ongoing Cactus+ programming.
