Books on Prescription is a joint initiative between Cheshire West & Chester and Cheshire East Libraries, Western Cheshire Primary Care Trust, Central and Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trust and Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Trust.

The scheme aims to increase access to self-help materials free through libraries across Cheshire for people who suffer from anxiety, depression or stress-related conditions.

People can access the scheme via self referral, through recommendation from a health or other professional or as part of a therapeutic intervention such as cognitive behavioural therapy.

A list of books recommended through the scheme is available via the library catalogue. For further information please read our leaflet (PDF, 238KB) and booklist (PDF, 146KB).
