Supporting Community Mental Health in Libraries

By Amy L. Shearer, Karen Christianson, Ivy Todd

In this toolkit, the authors draw from the Libraries for Health pilot program to provide instructions, ideas, and guidance to libraries that are interested in adopting mental health supports. The authors describe the rationale for incorporating mental health supports in libraries, summarize how libraries approached this pilot, and guide librarians through the steps of adding new mental health supports within their library environments.
