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.
We welcome you to our information center in the near future, but in the meantime if you need detailed help through the University Libraries. You can book a research appointment here: Research Appointment Site.
