Responding to questions involving topics on mental health is challenging even for the most experienced librarian. In this 1-hour webinar, participants will explore several websites to respond to requests for mental health information at their libraries.
Sites that we'll explore include: MedlinePlus, DailyMed, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
During the webinar, we'll cover:
- A few mental health stats
- Reliable information resources
