Truxal Library Special Topic Guide: Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month, May 2024
Welcome to this Truxal Library exhibit in honor and support of Mental Health Awareness month! This exhibit highlights recently published library materials that fall under the umbrella 'mental health' – from mindfulness to addiction, and from depression to well-being. In addition to this online guide, a physical exhibit of print books is available on the second floor of the library, near the circulation desk. We hope that you will browse and use these materials.
