Care and Custody

Exhibit runs Feb 12-Mar 23

The traveling banner exhibition and companion website explore the treatment of people with mental health conditions throughout history, especially in the United States, bringing to light the tension that has existed between care and custody. Physicians, advocates, families, and government agencies have all contributed to the shaping of mental health policies. Care and Custody examines this history to understand how the country has moved away from custodial forms of treatment, toward more inclusive approaches, and worked to protect the rights of people with mental health conditions. The exhibit is open to the public at Egan Library during regular hours. A digital exhibit is available for those outside of Juneau. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) produced Care and Custody: Past Responses to Mental Health, with guest curation by public historian and educator Anne E. Parsons, PhD (University of North Carolina at Greensboro).
