Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and Seton Hall University Libraries are proud to announce the purchase of a collection geared to promoting mental health care and wellness within our campus community. Housed in three locations – Walsh Library, the IHS Library in Nutley, and at the CAPS Office (second floor of Mooney Hall, Room 27)- the collection is designed to help encourage education around common topics of interest to students. The collection was funded by grants from Great Minds Dare to Care, a university-wide collaborative suicide prevention initiative focused on student wellness and mental health.
Topics covered across the collection include general stress management, conflict resolution, perfectionism, insomnia, anxiety, coping with chronic pain, exploring and accepting gender identity and sexuality, mental health in the context of race, body image issues, substance abuse and addiction, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These books can help give you the tools to help yourself or a friend or loved one in need if struggling with any of these issues. For a list of available titles check here.
Additionally, don’t hesitate to take advantage of CAPS counseling services. Call (973) 761-9500, Monday-Friday 8:45 a.m.- 4:45 p.m., to schedule an appointment.
