📖 What is DAISY’s Deep Reads?
DAISY’s Deep Reads is an in-person book club launching in the Houston area—where mental health meets the magic of books. Each month, we’ll explore a new book that dives into topics like mental wellness, behavioral health, trauma, resilience, or substance use.
This isn’t just about reading—it’s about reflecting, connecting, and healing in community. Whether it’s a memoir, insightful guide, or narrative nonfiction, each selection is chosen to spark thoughtful conversation and inspire personal growth.

💬 Why Join a Mental Health-Focused Book Club?

MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES DAY 2026
2026-01-17 10:00 - 15:00 | United Way Houston, 50 Waugh Dr, Houston, TX, 77007, United States
Annual MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES DAY – Houston

The 3rd Annual MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES DAY (MHRD) will be held in Houston, Texas,and hosted by 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Creative Mental Wellness on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at the United Way Houston (50 Waugh Drive, Houston). The event will take place from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. MHRD is a mental health fair that puts a spotlight on mental health, behavioral health, and substance use disorder resources for treatment and support that are available in the area. MHRD aims to provide the community with the opportunity to engage with and learn from representatives from mental health, behavioral health, and substance use disorder resources while providing those professionals space to get to know one another better and collaborate more and enable more referrals so that the community can be better and more effectively served.

The event will include vendors as well as speakers. People attending the event should leave with ideas for elevating their mental health, learning about something they did not know about or a resource they were not aware of, as well as the satisfaction that just by attending they are helping support our efforts to support our community in addition to helping us normalize discussions surrounding mental health, behavioral health, and substance use disorder. Vendors/representatives from community organizations will arm attendees with mental health tools (resources for treatment and support they can put in their mental health toolboxes). There will be activities, entertainment, and prize drawings to keep attendees engaged and encourage connection with other community members. “We are thrilled to host the Annual Mental Health Resources Day in Houston,” said Seanda Barrett Blocker, Founder and Executive Director of Creative Mental Wellness. “Our goal is to provide the Houston community with the resources they need to improve their mental health and well-being. We hope that this event will help to de-stigmatize mental health issues and encourage people to seek the help they need.” The event is open to the public.
