Self-Help and Wellness

This guide is intended to highlight self-care resources in the library.

Note

The NJIT library provides numerous self-help books recommended by the campus's own Center for Counseling and Psychological Services (C-CAPS.) The topics reflect the problems and conditions that the counseling staff observe in their own student clients. These books are listed below and are available at the library for check out at your convenience. They are located on the first floor of the library.

You can also contact C-CAPS to schedule an appointment, and/or get help 24/7.
