Books on Prescription Scheme
The Books on Prescription Scheme is a
very effective way of helping people with common mental health
problems such as anxiety, depression, phobias and eating
disorders.
There is first class clinical evidence to show
that books can be just as effective as other forms of therapy, with
the advantage of having no side effects.
Worcestershire County Council Libraries and
Learning Service is working in partnership with Worcestershire NHS,
to provide quality self-help information to enable you to manage
your health through reading. A prescription for a recommended
book is issued by your doctor or other health professional, and can
be exchanged for the book at your local Worcestershire library*,
free of charge. *Subject to your local library offering the
service.
