In-Person Mental Health Training for Libraries

Published on November 29, 2024

Thanks to a generous grant from the National Network Libraries of Medicine Region 2, the NJ State Library invites you to attend the following in-person workshop trainings offered at five locations throughout the state.

The workshops will be presented by the Mental Health Association of New Jersey and cover the following topics:

1. Self-Care for Librarians: Addressing burnout, mind and body wholeness.
2. Dealing with Crisis: For front desk who have to handle fraught customers and QPR suicide prevention certification.

Each session will provide additional community resources, access to information, and additional online training and support services available to the libraries, as well as access to annual mental health awareness and education materials, along with a direct line into the MHANJ Call Center for questions and consultation.
