"This book takes care of the “where do I start” question. Often times, as with many things, the most difficult part of writing down your thoughts is knowing where to begin. Cynthia’s 52 Week Mental Health Journal takes care of that The intuitive prompts and insightful topics help the veteran and novice journalist alike set their thoughts to paper. I have had a front row seat in watching the crafting and development of this journal and I know that you will find it infused with care and concern for our collective well-being."

"I’ve been responding to the prompts for about two weeks. I find them really thought-provoking and relevant. I’ve been working through some stress and depression issues, and the book is really helping me reframe my thinking on them. I came into this with some specific goals, and I feel like the journal is helping me work towards those goals in a doable but proactive way.

Each week of the journal focuses on specific aspects of your life. It has a supportive overall tone, but it also focuses on specific approaches to not only being aware of our thoughts and approaches to life and problems but how to change these things for the better.

There is a theme for each week, like “Connection & Engagement” and “Calm & Resiliency.” And then those are broken down by day. The idea is to write a brief, considered response and then sit with that for a little while.

What I like about this journal is the prompts, which I find engaging and helpful, and the focus on concrete ideas, instead of vague platitudes. The author is a great therapist. She really focuses on working towards goals and helping to encourage patients to make positive changes, and I think this book is a great extension of that approach."
