These exhibits are free and open to the public, and they aim to provide information about stress management, alcohol and drug use, and overdose prevention as part of mental wellness and substance use awareness.
Anne Robin, the County Behavioral Health Director, expressed pride in bringing these important topics to visitors of the local libraries. According to Robin, the Behavioral Health Department is dedicated to partnering with organizations that can offer education and resources, and these partnerships help connect with new community members who may need their support and services.
These informative galleries are on display at County branches in Atascadero, Arroyo Grande, and San Luis Obispo, and they support the topics found in the library’s 2023 Book of the Year: All My Rage. Moreover, these exhibits not only coincide with Stress Awareness, National Alcohol Awareness, and National Distracted Driving Awareness month campaigns but also complement many of the book's themes around alcoholism, stress, and mental health.
