Caring for the Mind: Providing Mental Health Information at Your Library by NNLM In-Person
Responding to questions involving topics on mental health is challenging even for the most experienced librarian. Caring for the Mind focuses on what librarians and information providers do best:
1) provide reference services
2) make connections to reliable resources
3) library programming
During the webinar, we'll cover:
- A few mental health stats and definitions
- Tips for reference interactions
- Highlight reliable information resources
- And lastly, we’ll look at some ideas for programs around mental health.
NLM resources covered in this class include MedlinePlus and DailyMed, as well as other NIH and freely available authoritative resources.
