Reading Well for Teens
Home | Read This
Reading Well for Teens is a new initiative to help young people aged 13-18 years manage their mental health, wellbeing and emotional resilience using recommended reading.
Reading Well for Teens provides a booklist of 27 titles covering topics including wellbeing, anxiety, depression, body image, neurodiversity, bereavement, life experiences,
sexuality and gender identity. The booklist features non-fiction, information and self-help material as well as memoirs, graphic novels and fiction.
The books on the booklist have been selected by Health Professionals and co-produced with teenagers (aged 13-19) in a collaboration with Partnership for Young London.
Reading Well for Teens can be recommended by Health professionals, GPs, School Nurses etc but it is also there to support young people who may be concerned about their own
emotional wellbeing or concerned about a friend and need some advice.
Some of the titles are available as e-books to be downloaded from Libby - check out the e-books from other Reading Well Collections here.
Bedford Borough have copies of the full collection at Bedford Central, Kempston, Putnoe, Bromham and Wootton Libraries. Central Bedfordshire have full sets of the collection at Biggleswade, Dunstable , Flitwick, and Leighton Buzzard
