This book club was set up by PJI in 2019 to encourage a common read of books related to the theme of Creating a Resilient Community. Together, we explore books that inspire understanding of Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences (PACEs), resilience, wellness, and healing.
Be part of a community dedicated to positive change, where each discussion deepens our knowledge and strengthens our collective resilience. Let’s build a brighter, more connected future together – it’s about us!

To date, we have read the following:
