Posted by Morlee Maynard on May 31, 2016 at 14:57

What do you have in your collections or perhaps such that you would recommend for us to have in our collections for hurting people and families? Topics include the following and you will have other topics too.

  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Depression
  • Grief
  • Suicide
  • Loss of job
  • Divorce
  • Wayward adult children
  • Separation from family members

What titles with authors do you recommend?

THANKS!

    CSLA has a bibliography of resources called Helping Those Who Hurt : An Annotated Bibliography for Congregational Libraries Serving Teens and Children, http://cslainfo.org/publications#bibliographies, that may have some useful suggestions.

    I had a book donated to library.  It was Sit Down, God...I'm Angry by R.F. Smith.  A friend checked it out and thought so highly of it, she recommended it to someone else and that patron checked it out, too.  A quick summary...The author is/was a minister who lost his son.

    I have another one on grief that I will try to look up for you.  We have a class on grief and several have read it.
