Abstract	The National Association of School Psychologists' (NASP) Social Justice Committee (SJC) presents a National Book Read to encourage school psychologists and graduate students to come together around a selected text and participate in dialogues within their communities. This annual event, which is accompanied by a range of helpful resources to support discussions, provides a valuable opportunity for participants to engage in critical reflection on their own identities and the systems of oppression that marginalize many communities. The book for 2021-2022 was "Decolonizing Trauma Work: Indigenous Stories and Strategies" by Renee Linklater (2014). Through her own research, personal experiences, and conversations with 10 Indigenous healthcare practitioners, Dr. Linklater shares valuable insights on the concepts of healing, wellness, and effectively supporting the mental health needs of Indigenous communities through a decolonizing approach. School psychology graduate students learned valuable lessons about the history and experiences of Indigenous communities and found empowerment by leading a NASP National Book Read group at William James College in Massachusetts. In this article, they recount their experience of facilitating the book discussion, including what they learned about its application to schools and graduate institutions, as well as its impact on their self-reflection.
