Kaitlin's Library was established in memory of Kaitlin Mahr, a member of the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Class of 2009, whose life was tragically cut short in 2007 due to depression and an accidental overdose. As a student, Kaitlin was a member of Melee Dance Troupe and a LARY Buddy tutor.

What is Kaitlin's Library?

Kaitlin's Library is designed to change the face of mental illness recognition and reach out to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ students who are struggling with life's challenges. The approach involves the use of the app  to provide a suite of tools to manage stress, anxiety and depression. It also includes a library of resources, located in the Buchanan-Kiewit Wellness Center, covering current topics in mental health and emotional well-being.
