How about a good book? |
|
New! The counseling center has put
some self-help resources on reserve at Milne Library. Books that are on
reserve at the library are indicated with a
*. To see a list of self-help
resources on reserve go to
Milne Library Catalogue and search for "self-help." There are some really great books out there about mental health issues and personal growth. Reading about a mental health issue can be very helpful but does not take the place of talking to an informed and supportive person who cares. We believe it is important for every individual to make informed choices about what they read and how they use that information. Our favorite reads are listed by topic:
