Books on Prescription is a program that helps you manage your wellbeing using self-help reading. All of the books in the program have been recommended by experts and are available for anyone to borrow from the Library. Evidence from the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Evidence (NICE) shows that self-help books can help people understand and manage common conditions including depression, anxiety, stress and eating disorders. As part of your treatment your GP, psychologist or another health professional may recommend a self-help book from our Books on Prescription collection.
