Mental Health and Addictions Resource Libraries

We are proud to have resource libraries on-site at both our Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre and Brockville Mental Health Centre. The libraries are open to our clients and families, or anyone who is looking for information about mental health and substance use. Our goal is to help people better understand mental illness and substance use challenges, and how to manage them.

The library is located on the second floor (across from the elevators) and is open Monday to Friday. 

Books may be borrowed for a two-week period. 

The collection of material grows continually as we acquire additional publications and new information becomes available.

Need help? Ask our librarians! They are available to assist you in finding the information you need
