T.W.L.O.H.A. 2011

The first week in February is "Suicide Awareness and Prevention Week". As we are faced with the sadness of losing one of our students in a car accident, we still have to remember that some people, even teens, suffer from depression or other mental illnesses. It is sometimes very difficult to cope with all the feelings we have bottled up inside or because we feel too much. This is another reason to take the time to talk about it. Ignoring the subject won't make it go away and the more information we can put our hands on, the more we might understand.

Next week, Winter Carnival activities will be in full swing and we are taking this opportunity to promote the To Write Love On Her/His Arm (T.W.L.O.H.A.) activity again this year.
All day on February 10th, just come to the library to check out our display and to write love on your arm or a friend's arm. Make the time to tell to the important people in your life how you feel. We will take a picture of your arm to prepare a mural in the library for all to see.

We selected a few books, either fiction or memoirs and documentaries that are up to date with the information and loaded with links to websites that could help. Always remember that we have a very good team at Student Services' office and that they are professional. They will know how to help or where to get the help you or someone you care about might need.
