Mental Health Support - School Library Journal

Gr 8 Up–Addressing serious topics in a hi-lo format, these titles look at crucial issues that are facing teens’ mental health today. The text is broken into bulleted sections or smaller sections for ease of access, and there are several images and photographs used throughout to provide additional context to readers. The authors also mix in examples teens might experience themselves when dealing with things like anxiety or depression. There is an emphasis on not only knowing about one’s mental health, but living with that knowledge and thriving with support.

VERDICT Having access to hi-lo options in nonfiction is so valuable for health materials in high school and public libraries serving teens.
