Join the Reading in Mind book scheme
If you have a mental health issue like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder or worry, reading books about the issue can help you understand and manage your mental health and wellbeing.
The Reading in Mind book scheme provides recommended books or DVDs about a wide range of mental health issues, based on recommendations from mental health professionals and the Mental Health Foundation of NZ. Your family and friends can also use the scheme.
You can get the books and DVDs from:
- your local library or
- the Mental Health Education and Resource Centre (MHERC) - 116 Marshlands Road.
The scheme was developed and is promoted by Pegasus PHO and Christchurch health providers, Christchurch Libraries, and MHERC.
