"According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in four Americans experience mental illness at some point in their lives. Of New Mexico’s approximately 2 million residents, about 72,000 adults and 22,000 children live with serious mental conditions."
New Mexico Family Network and
OptumHealth New Mexico donated over one hundred books to our collection this month. Each title is about an aspect of mental health, and is part of a statewide program to fill New Mexico's libraries will quality up-to-date information about mental health support. So far, libraries around the state have received about 2,000 books. With topics including
bipolar disorder,
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
dyslexia,
bullying,
substance abuse, and
stress management, the books cover a wide range of grade and reading levels.
With library budgets around the state decreasing at a similar rate as funding for mental health support programs for New Mexicans, this gift is very much appreciated. We're looking forward to getting these books on our shelves quickly, and helping you find the support that you and your families need. Many thanks to
