In 2010 -2011 the Missouri Department of Mental Health Library Services Technology Act (LSTA) Grant will be embarking on a new project – the development of a tool kit for use by public librarians.  In 2007 the project developed a web portal at www.librarian411.org to provide access to web based training and resources for librarians. 

The ultimate goal is provide librarians with useful tools to increase awareness and decrease stigma by highlighting literary and artistic accomplishments of people with developmental disabilities and mental illness as well as people in recovery from substance abuse.

The (LSTA) Grant steering committee is now accepting applications for participation. The DMH is seeking:

a) Published or unpublished works (Art, Poems, audio recordings, short stories, websites etc).  Submitted material / information or reference the materials or information may be included in the online toolkit for Librarians.

You can apply online here or download a pdf application (you may need to right click and choose save-as).

Mental health consumers are finding meaningful paths to healing through creativity. By singing, playing music, writing, drawing, painting or other forms of artistic expression, people are finding ways to free their minds and help their bodies heal, physically and emotionally. Through the artistic process, the individual begins to understand him/herself, while the mental health services community and the general public gain insights into the wealth and variety of “altered” states of mind.  The “Pillows of Unrest” project invited mental health consumers to share their struggles with mental illness by decorating pillowcases with words, poems, and pictures.
