Adult Wellbeing Resources
Explore some handy resources that will help you look after your physical and mental health and wellbeing.
Reading Well for mental health
We have a great collection of books chosen by health professionals and the Reading Agency to help people affected by a range of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, panic, body image issues and eating disorders. As well as handy guides to overcoming these conditions and common treatments such as CBT, the collection includes real-life accounts of people with lived experience of mental health conditions and their stories.
The titles are available across our libraries and can be reserved using the catalogue.
Reading for wellbeing
Reading for pleasure, whether a book, magazine, comic, newspaper or anything else, is great for helping us to unwind and boosting our mental wellbeing.
Here are a couple of lists of recommended titles to make you smile!
Every Mind Matters
Every Mind Matters is an NHS resource designed to help you improve your mental well-being or maintain good mental health. With interactive tools helping you develop a plan to deal with stress and anxiety, improve your sleep, boost your mood and feel more in control, there is a wealth of information on sources of support and topics such as supporting others.
Travel Well
Travel Well can support you to walk and cycle more for a healthier and happier life. This government funded trial sees activities including led walks and
rides, cycle training, bike repair skills classes and journey planning.
