Mental Health Awareness Week

There's a lot going on during the exam season and the pressure can feel overwhelming for everyone involved, but there is help on offer.

It is Mental Health Awareness Week and there are a lot of strategies you can employ to help ensure you are keeping on the right track and nurturing your wellbeing.

Reading is a great way to switch-off and a survey conducted by the National Literacy Trust found that more than half (59%) of young readers asked, said reading made them feel better.

Our library has a wide range of books which can help with your reading escapism - both fiction and non-fiction as well as those with a focus on mental health and wellbeing.

There are a huge number of resources which can help, but if you are struggling then tell someone and seek the help that will get you through it.
