Vincentian personalism infuses the work and spaces of the DePaul University Library. In this spirit of respect for each and every individual, we honor and observe Mental Health Awareness Month. As this month draws to a close, we would like to expand this awareness by highlighting Library resources that support the diverse mental health and well-being needs and challenges of the DePaul community.
Databases: The Library subscribes to a number of databases containing psychology and mental health related content for personal reading or research.
