The Blue Hill Public Library’s book group, “Shelf-Care,” cosponsored by Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital, will meet on Tuesday, May 14th at 5:30 PM. The group is led by licensed clinical social workers (LCSW) Dede Ragot, and Patty Bergstrom, and meets on the second Tuesday of the month, except during the summer. This will be the last meeting of the group until September.
May’s book will be How to Live Well with Chronic Pain and Illness, by Toni Barnhard. According to the publisher, “Chronic illness creates many challenges, from career crises and relationship issues to struggles with self-blame, personal identity, and isolation. Beloved author Toni Bernhard addresses these challenges and many more, using practical examples to illustrate how mindfulness, equanimity, and compassion can help readers make peace with a life turned upside down.”
Patty Bergstrom, LCSW, is a Behavioral Health Provider at Northern Light Health Blue Hill Primary Care. Dede Ragot, LCSW, is a Clinical Social Worker with Northern Light Home Care and Hospice for the past 5 years. Both are avid readers and enjoy discussion groups and learning from others.
This group is free and open to everyone. Copies of the book will be available to check out in advance at the library. For more information, contact the library at 374-5515.
