The Lewis Library invites you to seep yourself into the compelling and brave stories of those facing mental illness to gain an understanding of the history of mental health and the social and medical forces that have built a wall of stigma, as well as those that have paved a brighter road to recovery. The physical display on the 2nd floor of the library takes readers on a journey through key historical moments, as well as personal narratives that give soulful insight into living with depression, PTSD, autism, brain injury, Alzheimer's, and schizophrenia along with other conditions, to raise awareness and be inspired to find hope.
All of the print books on this page are on the display shelf and can be checked out at the circulation desk on the 2nd floor of the Lewis Library.
