BOOK PRESCRIPTION SCHEME

ARE YOU HAVING EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS?

Many people - perhaps even the majority - develop emotional or psychological problems at some time during their life. At anyone time, for example, about 10 per cent of adults are feeling somewhat depressed. Others feel anxious about leaving the house, or about meeting people, or have worries that seem to go on and on.

NHS Fife Psychology Department and Fife Libraries provide a scheme to help people with mild to moderate psychological problems.
You can now ask your GP or other health professional to write you a prescription for a self-help book which can then be exchanged for a book in Fife Libraries.

Questionnaire about your “networks”

We would like to ask you some questions about the networks you have with other disabled people.  This is so we can get evidence that will allow us to give Westminster, Holyrood and Fife Council good advice about how well disabled people are connected to one another.
