Hello David,

We have a children and families scheme in East Sussex, set up by request with our CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service) last year. It is going well, full list here:
http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/libraries/booksfilmsmusic/books/goodreads/selfhelpschemefamilies.htm

The CAMHS psychologists are very pleased with the progress and how helpful it is to them (and GPs) as their own criteria and waiting lists are getting stricter and longer respectively. For more information do get in touch direct.

Best wishes,

Abi Luthmann

Hi all

We’ve begun working with our Public Health team in support of their bibliotherapy project aimed at 2-13yr olds (very similar to the adult BoP schemes).

They’ve begun work on building up an appropriate reading list (to cover bullying, adoption, anger, ADD, death, divorce, drugs, parental illnesses etc.) but if there’s other examples out there already would be useful in not reinventing.

Has anybody already got something similar up and in operation and willing to share booklists, experience etc?

With thanks

David Reed
