The event will be facilitated by Andrew Cox (University of Sheffield) and Nicola Wylie (Lancaster University).

To mark Blue Monday the team from the ALN Mental Health and Wellbeing Resource is organising a session to discuss how libraries can best support student and staff wellbeing.

Two presentations will kick off the discussion:

Rebecca Humphreys will talk about her study of wellbeing collections.
Rachel Huskisson will report back on her survey of FE college provision.

There will also be an opportunity to discuss and share participants’ own initiatives.

This event will be of interest to Library staff who support mental health and wellbeing either in HE or FE.
