Children's library help and support


Reading Well recommends books about mental health.  It provides 13 to 18 year olds with advice and information about issues like:

  • anxiety
  • stress
  • OCD

As well as difficult experiences like bullying and exams. The books have been recommended by young people and health professionals.

Reading Well for children provides quality-assured information, stories and advice to support children's mental health and wellbeing. Books have been chosen and recommended by leading health professionals and co-produced with children and families.

The booklist is targeted at children in Key Stage 2 (aged 7-11), but includes titles aimed at a wide range of reading levels to support less confident readers, and to encourage children to read together with their siblings and carers.
