Starting Point: Self-Help Topics + Mental Health Awareness: Home

Suggested titles within a range of topics under the umbrellas of both Self-Help and Mental Health
There are additional topical resources available at the library, for request through Interlibrary Loan, and online as eBooks. The resources listed here are simply provided as a jumping-off point, made available without the added step of having to approach in person or ask for help to get started. Please visit or contact the Reference Desk for further confidential assistance.
Please note, library staff CANNOT give medical advice or guidance but they CAN help connect you with trusted sources of information and medical professionals.

Why a mix?

This guide contains suggested titles within a range of topics under the umbrellas of both Self-Help and Mental Health. At times, there is merely a fine line between the two. If you or someone you know could benefit from professional care or guidance, please reach out for help.

Crisis information is included below.
