May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth . We have thousands of e-books on the topic for LMU students, faculty, and staff interested in learning more. Here are 5 titles that illustrate some of the research we have in our collections. (thread)

The "Handbook of Mindfulness-based Programmes", edited by Itai Ivtzan, offers a comprehensive guide to all prominent, evidence-based mindfulness programs available in the West. https://linus.lmu.edu/record=b4774912~S2

We also have books on mental health within specific populations, like "Adolescent Mental Health: Prevention and Intervention" by Ogden and Hagen. https://linus.lmu.edu/record=b4013332~S1

And not just contemporary populations. There are also resources on mental health in the U.S. during the previous century. Check out "Mental illness and American society, 1875-1940" by Gerald N. Grob. https://linus.lmu.edu/record=b4827387~S1

There are also resources that look at mental health through the lens of specific experiences and industries, like "Video Games and Well-being: Press Start", edited by Rachel Kowert. https://linus.lmu.edu/record=b4822598~S2

And research that looks at mental health in more general contexts, like workplaces. See "Mental Health in the Workplace: Strategies and Tools to Optimize Outcomes" by Michelle B. Riba, Sagar V. Parikh, and John F. Greden, (eds). https://linus.lmu.edu/record=b4574868~S1

All these #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth e-book resources and more are available @LMULibrary for our students, faculty, and staff [use you MyLMU login]. Special thanks to Library Events Manager, Carol Raby, for pulling together these selections!
