Virtual Academic Library Environment of New Jersey
Mental Health Curriculum Brought to Life
Genius Academy is an on-demand platform offering experiential learning tools designed for psychology, social work, and counseling education.
In partnership with Library Lever, Genius Academy is offering their best-in-class mental health curriculum at a discounted price to VALE membership.
How the Library Lever Mission Aligns with VALE
Library Lever is a new buying club (similar to a library consortium) that has redefined the procurement process by delivering practical & evidence-based solutions to help curate digital collections. Our mission is keeping libraries on budget with affordable participation fees, eliminating service charges (no added cost to subscriptions) and passing 100% of the discount directly to our clients. Unlike traditional buying clubs, we are not geographically based, and serve both public and academic libraries allowing us achieve greater volume discounts.
VALE's core purpose is to serve as a cooperative to reduce resource costs through shared purchasing and licensing and to foster exchange of ideas and expertise to transform NJ member libraries. While VALE focuses primarily on member libraries, it also partners with ACRL-NJ/NJLA-CUS which focuses on individual member support, and NJEdge, which allows improved communication with higher education administrators and academic leaders and serves as the fiduciary agent to VALE.
The core competencies and missions of Library Lever and VALE align in this offering of Genius Academy.

Nia presents for therapy after her steadily declining mental condition manifested in erratic, dangerous behavior that concluded with her being jailed. She explained that she was once a confident, happy woman, but she is now at the mercy of a disorder that causes her mood to fluctuate greatly. She noted that, at times, she feels so energized and strong that she can accomplish anything, which may have been what led her to drop everything and embark on an ill-planned cross-country road trip. As viewers listen to her recall the details of the incident and explain her condition, they observe clues about her symptoms and utilize the information to figure out an appropriate diagnosis for her condition.

How Genius Academy Fits with VALE Goals
From the VALE 2020-2022 Three Year Strategic Plan
Collections and Content: Streamlining electronic content acquisitions and championing consortial savings
Goal 4: VALE creates more streamlined acquisition processes to benefit member libraries.
Genius Academy is a brand new resource in a subject that has become much more important to academic libraries.
From the American Psychological Association: (https://www.apa.org/monitor/2020/04/libraries-health-hubs)
"Although the university librarians were not typically seeing patrons experiencing homelessness, they were unsure about how to deal with disruptive behaviors among some students who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So Behrend started teaching an online professional development course to educate librarians across the country on how ASD presents in children, adolescents and adults, and how to communicate with these individuals. Participants learn that pacing and making loud noises can be methods of self-regulation and that overly bright lighting can also be difficult for these patrons to manage."
