Fiction & Non-Fiction Audiobooks for Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month: a time dedicated to destigmatizing mental illness, advocating for mental wellness, and building community in an effort to ensure that no one struggles alone. Every single one of us has mental health, after all.

In these lists of fiction and non-fiction audiobooks, find representation and education in every genre, including memoirs, romance novels, and self-care, to name a few.

Non-Fiction Audiobooks

Memoirs, journalistic deep-dives, and prescriptive self-care (and some that are a combination of all three)
