Summary:
"As a teen librarian, you are more likely than not to encounter
teens
with
mental
health issues. Will you know how to help them? This
guide
explains what to do and what not to do.
Mental
illness
among
teens
has risen to epidemic levels. When
mental
health issues come to the
library
, what is the librarian's role? This book asserts that you don't have to be a social worker or
mental
health professional to provide guidance to
teens
with
mental
health issues. By creating collections that contain
mental
health resources, working with community partners, and initiating dialogues with
library
patrons that de-stigmatize
mental
illness
, you can serve a positive and proactive role in helping
teens
to get help. This book provides readers with
practical
guidelines for building collections, programs, and services that support
teens
experiencing
mental
health challenges and explains how to create a supportive, welcoming environment in the
library
. In addition, it shows how to forge partnerships with other community agencies in this endeavor, how to advocate for mentally ill
teens
, and how to teach them to advocate for themselves. Lastly, it discusses how to evaluate these programs and services, and how to take care of your own needs while
serving
others."--Libraries Unlimited website.
