Our very own Megan Turchetti, a member of the NHPA Equity & Inclusion Committee, has been quoted in the spring 2023 issue of the New England Psychologist in an article about mental health resources in public libraries. 

See below for Megan's feature:

“According to Megan Turchetti, PsyD, clinical manager for Youth & Family Services in Portsmouth, NH, a library represents a microcosm of local culture. The idea of offering resources for mental health issues “…deepens the sense of a library as a place of support. A lot of libraries work hard to be more intentional in promoting access to knowledge,” Turchetti said. She pointed out that having visuals on the walls and in bathrooms that explain the signs of depression, suicide, and other mental health issues can be very helpful. “People should be able to get good quality information on mental health supports. Making resources accessible is important,” she said.
