Self–Care Awareness Month & University Libraries

September has been designated as a month where we are encouraged to pause and take time for ourselves, but this is a message that remains strong throughout the entire year.

According to the World Health Organization: “Self-care is the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability . . . Self-care recognizes individuals as active agents in managing their own health care, in areas including health promotion; disease prevention and control; self-medication; providing care to dependent persons, and rehabilitation, including palliative care.” We are glad to offer our University Community various information resources on a wide range of health care issues via this exhibit and within our research collection.

Located on the second floor of Walsh Library this exhibit will provide a helpful gateway to print and electronic resources related to self-care in all its varied and important forms.

  • This is a collaborative effort including Professor Julianna Murray, Assistant Dean Lisa DeLuca, and Professor David Frank.
