Are you interested in being able to assist someone experiencing a mental health-related crisis or non-crisis situation and where to turn for help?
Before you can know how to help, you need to know when to help.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognized program designed to build mental health literacy within our communities — or a basic understanding of what different mental health illnesses and addictions are, how they can affect a person’s daily life, and what helps individuals experiencing these challenges get well.
You will learn about:
· Depression and mood disorders
· Anxiety disorders
· Trauma
· Psychosis
· Substance Use disorders
· How to help someone who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide or harm
Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency — the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better, and use their strengths to stay well.
Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack — even with no clinical training — becoming a Mental Health First Aider will train you to provide initial help to people experiencing mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis and substance use disorders as well as how to help someone who may be experiencing thoughts of harm or suicide.
This 9-hour training is FREE to Shoreline Community College employees and students and will be offered in two (2) – 4.5-hour sessions:
Friday, November 2 AND Friday, November 9 from 11:00 am – 3:30 pm (Bring your lunch – and an afternoon snack will be provided).
You MUST attend BOTH training sessions to receive a MHFA handbook and become a certified Mental Health First Aider.
Please email Sheryl Copeland at scopeland@shoreline.edu to register and/or find out more information. Once registered, details as far as room location, etc. will be shared.

Thank you.
The Ray Howard Library partners with faculty to create cutting-edge technology-rich information literacy learning. Take Control. Use the Library.
Every week, the library sends a newsletter with nuts and bolts of getting services and resources for you and our students.
How to suggest a film purchase
If you need a film for face-to-face classroom use, and the library does not own it, please visit the Instructors Toolkit on the library website and click the button for Purchasing & Reserves.
Our budget is more limited for films for use in an online class because we pay for the film usually for three years, after which we have to pay again. We can no longer purchase streaming rights for DVDs. We are unable to purchase public performance rights for campus events. Learn more about public performance rights here. We will inform you when we cannot purchase more films because the budget has been spent down, but please continue to let us know you want a film! We purchase DVDs of Oscar winners every year. Please contact Acting Associate Dean Leslie Potter-Henderson lhenders@shoreline.edu or library@shoreline.edu if you have any questions.
Streaming films from Kanopy
You can view and use these streaming films from Kanopy. Search Kanopy from the library website to see a list of streaming films from Kanopy. Each of these films has been suggested for purchase by Shoreline Community College faculty.
Noise Zones
The Library strives to be a space where students and others in our community can conduct research and do a variety of work, whether they need a spot to study silently alone, study with a partner or a small group, or gather where a larger group can collaborate freely on team projects. To accommodate these different learning needs, the Library has different noise zones: for interactive study using quiet conversations, the center of the main floor is zoned for interactive research. Larger groups can use one of our six study rooms (4229-4234), which can easily be booked online or on the tablet mounted in the hallway near the rooms. And for silent study, students are welcome to work in the computer lab on the first floor, or the seats around the periphery of the Library are often peaceful! For more information, visit our Noise policy page. Please let students know that the library is a place where they can find the study space that suits their needs.
Great Collaborations
Faculty librarians at the Ray Howard Library collaborate with instructional faculty to create engaging, relevant learning experiences. Many sections of chemistry 171 run an assignment co-designed by chemistry instructors and librarians in which students learn about peer review and evidence-based research studies through videos, an individual session with a faculty librarian, searching databases and writing a short paper. Librarians are able to tailor the conversation to the student’s knowledge and experience. Want to know more about this assignment? Contact Cherl Lovseth clovseth@shoreline.edu or library@shoreline.edu
ACRL Framework and library instruction
Interested in how faculty librarians think about information literacy concepts? The Association of Research & College Libraries (ACRL) Framework is changing how we approach teaching information literacy. Instead of teaching skills that may be out-of-date tomorrow, the ACRL Framework introduces threshold concepts that, once mastered, dispose learners to certain knowledge practices. The Framework is pretty new, and librarians are thinking about, playing with, and exploring it. Contact TaChalla Ferris tferris@shoreline.edu or library@shoreline.edu if you would like to learn more!
There’s a new exhibit in the Admin (1000 Bldg) Art Gallery:
SOS for Lake Pátzcuaro
The Lily Project / Proyecto DeLirio
October 1, 2018 – January 11, 2019
This exhibition combines cultural preservation, environmental activism and community collaboration through the processes of paper making and printmaking to share the story and inspiration of Taller DeLirio.
Near Lake Patzcuaro in the small town of Huecorio, Mexico, artist Esteban Silva and his wife Tania Dominguez are working to bring attention to the slow destruction of the lake by an invasive water plant, the water hyacinth. Esteban and Tania responded to this environmental crisis by removing and making paper from the hyacinth. They use this paper to promote awareness and community involvement through their studio, Taller DeLirio.
In 2016, Taller DeLirio invited painters and engravers to participate in a poster project “SOS for Lake Patzcuaro” and the result was surprising. They ended with a collection of 64 posters by 32 local artists, addressing the environmental and social themes of the lake environment. The paper and graphic project was carried out in conjunction with their group of paper workers at Taller DeLirio and the invited artists.
Gallery Hours: Monday – Friday // 9 – 5
