Hi, I'm currently working towards my Chartership and looking into reading for wellbeing as part of the Wider Context criterion. I'm a mental health first aider at the school where I work, and also a menopause champion, and the mental wellbeing of both staff and students is a big part of my role - I've created a quiet room for staff, with a dedicated wellbeing library, and have created and expanded the Health and Wellbeing section for students, with texts specific to teens. The library also hosts weekly staff and student mindfulness sessions. I have spoken with our school counsellor about 'reading for wellbeing' and she made an excellent point in that it can't just be any book, as so many books, particularly YA, contain triggering content, which suggests it needs to be a more tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all. I was wondering if anyone from outside the school library environment can offer me any info/advice on this - I'm particularly interested in bibliotherapy... Thanks!

Hello, I work as a Research Librarian at a consumer healthcare company and we are keen to find out what services similar types of library offer to colleagues in terms of literature searches, current awareness etc. I would be very happy to share what we currently offer as a library service, what seems to work and what doesn't etc. Happy to discuss off thread if preferred.

Hi all, I am a secondary school librarian. I have recently been putting together a new section in the library for books surrounding neurodiversity and disability, aiming to provide resources for students with special education needs. I also have a separate section for self-help books on mental health. I'm struggling to decide on what to call this section of the library as obviously 'Special Education Needs' covers a lot of bases, and I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions? Thank you.

Is anyone from this going to MLA/SLA '23? It's being held in Detroit, Michigan this year. I'll be attending a number of Systematic Review sessions. https://www.mlanet.org/mla23

Hi Everyone. I am a librarian supporting the Health Sciences students at the Singapore Institute of Technology. Does anyone else have problems with the difference between Reports and Studies in the Included section of the PRISMA 2020 flow diagram? I have read all the documentation I can find but I still feel the explanations in my infographic need work https://libguides.singaporetech.edu.sg/ld.php?content_id=49703080 Looking forward to hearing from other Health Sciences librarians.
