About the Michigan Mental Health Training Kit:
Mental health is a significant public health concern impacting all demographics in Michigan. According to 2021 data from the National Alliance of Mental Illness, over 1,4600 adults in Michigan experience mental health conditions, while 119,000 adolescents aged 12-17 in Michigan are affected by depression. The Michigan Mental Health Training Kit was created to address this gap. This resource is designed to support librarians, library workers, and front-line library staff across Michigan by enhancing their understanding of both crisis and non-crisis mental health situations. Its goal is to increase their confidence in responding to the mental health needs of library visitors. (NNLM.gov) 

About the presenter:
Mark Giesler, PhD, LMSW, is Professor of Social Work at Saginaw Valley State University. His research agenda includes qualitative studies of marginalized groups, including LGBT individuals and homeless populations, and most recently, studies of the intersection of public libraries and social work. He is an Assistant Editor for the Journal of Ethnographic and Qualitative Research. He has served as both a regional representative and Vice-President of Standards and Services for the National Association of Social Workers-MI Chapter. In addition to his work in academia, he works part-time as a therapist for Butterfly Counseling in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
