Subject: [SCLA] Resources for National Mental Health Awareness Month

Dear Library Colleagues,

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. Attached is a list of books/DVD’s that has been compiled by our mental health services partners at the Association for Mental Health and Wellness. The materials listed are for patrons of all ages.

Please feel free to highlight these materials for the month of May and beyond. Along with programs and events, that promote mental wellness, please add these resources to programs focused on healthy eating, exercise and mindfulness….and any other programs you may already be having during the month of May.

Mental wellness programs can focus on all aspects of life, and do not necessarily need to have “”mental health”” in the title of the program. It is an overall concept that can be achieved in many ways.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss ideas for National Mental Health Awareness Month.

Also, please join us for the May 14th Mental Health Resources Roundtable that will be held at SCLS (10:00am to Noon). Please register on the Gateway.

If you will be joining us at SCLS for a program or meeting, please let us know in advance if you will need an accommodation that will make the event accessible to you.

Please note: As the Outreach Administrator for the Suffolk Cooperative Library System, I feel it is important to share information with library staff that will be of value to public libraries and the patrons in their community. The forwarding/sharing of the information that has not originated from me, does not imply endorsement or support of a particular company/organization/service.
