Core Webinar: Navigating Mental Health In Information Spaces

CHICAGO—Join Core for the webinar "Navigating Mental Health In Information Spaces" on December 10, 2025, at 1 p.m. CT. Mental health is a critical component of an individual's health and well-being. Historically, seeking mental health help has been fraught with challenges, including forced institutionalization, misunderstanding of symptoms, and stigmatization so profound that many chose to suffer in silence rather than reach out. In 1997, Jorm et al. coined the term 'mental health literacy,' defined as knowledge and beliefs about mental disorders that aid in their recognition, management, or prevention. A core component of mental health literacy includes knowing how to seek mental health information. To support public exploration and understanding, librarians and library workers play a crucial role in addressing the need for accessible, equitable, and inclusive mental health resources.
