Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month!
The following resources (including ALL of the NEW books listed) are the result of a collaboration between SWAT (Student Wellness Advisory Team) and the HHS Library. The goal of SWAT is to spread awareness surrounding mental and physical health - from stress, nutrition, substance abuse, and more. Learn more about SWAT and the great programs and activities they provide on their website.
*New* Books
These NEW titles were purchased with a grant from SWAT. Students collaborated with Ms. Millette to evaluate our current collection and decide on what to add. There are MANY more books in the library that support Mental Health and Wellness. Want more titles? Reach out to Ms. Millette or go to the Library Catalog to find more.
