The Student Wellbeing Team has worked with the Library to identify a range of books to help you manage your health and wellbeing through helpful reading. This also includes support for long-term health conditions.

A range of resources has been identified to help students with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief, chronic pain, and other long-term health conditions.

All books are on 4-week loans – shelved on the moving shelves at the back on each floor, you can use LibrarySearch to check availability and reserve.

" I was recommended one of the books and felt it was comforting in dealing with grasping an understanding of ways to accept and be more positive honestly."
