Monthly Book Club
More than your average book club… The Access, Belonging, & Connection Book Club seeks to explore difficult questions and thought-provoking topics as a community.
This year, we will be reading one book from September 2024 through May 2025. The Book Club will be reading select chapters each month from “Saving Our Own Lives: A Liberatory Practice of Harm Reduction” by Shira Hassan.
The book club will meet on the last Friday of every month at 12pm ET / 11am CT / 10am MT / 9am PT!
Discussion questions will be posted here prior to each book club meeting to guide your reading and/or your participation in discussion. The goal of book club is to generate a resource guide to pair with each section of the book. This means a few things:
- If you have read the book but cannot attend the meeting, you can still participate in the month’s exploration and resource development by filling out the surveys. Many of the questions pull from lived experience and personal perspectives. Your participation is valuable to us, regardless of your level of engagement with our programming. When completing the surveys, please answer questions with as little or as much detail as you would like. We encourage you to link other videos or readings in your responses. This will help us to develop further our Access and Belonging resource hub!
- If you have not read the book you can still attend discussion and fill out the survey to participate.
- If you are not a reader, you’re still a necessary part of our community, and you will be included in the community-grown resources of this Access, Belonging, and Connection program.

The profession of collegiate recovery, while vital, does present with some limitation to the practice of harm reduction. We look forward to many nuanced and productive conversations about these concerns. It is our hope that book club this year will allow each of our participating collegiate recovery professionals to feel a new confidence in including harm reduction in their philosophies, strategies, and toolkits.
