About KNOW

Students are invited to join Jana Marie Foundation for a fun and engaging book club.

KNOW Book Club provides an opportunity for self-discovery and self-reflection through vibrant discussions surrounding relevant youth books. This space creates connections, builds community, and gives the readers a chance to think on their own mental health and the role mental wellness plays in our lives.

We encourage weekly readings of short chapters, with monthly in person meetings that discuss relevant topics and close with activities and art projects that support our message. Reading is a powerful source for seeking knowledge, thinking freely, and learning more about the world around us. When it come to mental health, Jana Marie Foundation feels the more you KNOW, the more you can empower yourself and others to be their best!
