BOOK PRESCRIPTION SCHEME

NHS Fife and Fife Council Libraries & Museums

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.

You will be able to keep the self-help book for up to 6 weeks and, if you need the book beyond this time, the loan can be renewed.

This scheme is confidential. When you get your book the library will not divulge any information about who is borrowing the book or what the book is about.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE FIFE BOOK PRESCRIPTION SCHEME CONTACT YOUR GP OR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.
