Staff Picks: Mental Health

This season can be a difficult one for many of us.

We wouldn't be librarians if we didn't recommend some BOOKS on the topic, so we've pulled together a list of our Staff Picks on Mental Health. Here you'll find memoirs and firsthand accounts, wisdom from different traditions, helpful practices, humor and more. Each was personally recommended by library staff.

Here are some further resources related to mental health...

Need immediate help? Dial 988 for the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

For local assistance, call the New Hampshire Rapid Response Access Point (NHRRAP) at 833-710-6477.

Find out more about 988 and the NHRRAP.

Looking for something different? We've also created these booklists for different ages and subtopics:

• Graphica: Physical & Mental Health
• YOUTH: Picture Books about Mental Health
• TEEN: Mental Health in Fiction
• When someone you love has a mental illness

For more in depth local resources, check out our Seacoast Mental Health Resources.
