The Wellbeing Project has teamed up with the Health Improvement Team to provide a 'Books on Prescription' Scheme.

  • Low self esteem
  • Stress
  • Eating disorders
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorders
  • Gambling problems
  • Social phobia
  • The aftermath of sexual abuse

The Books on Prescription Scheme is free and simple to use. Simply go along to the Wellbeing Project offices where you can fill out a simple registration form and have a look through the full library of books. A member of staff will be on hand to help you if needed. Books can be loaned for periods of up to 8 weeks.
