Books acknowledging mental health issues help to foster awareness, encourage dialogue, reduce stigma and develop real understanding around mental health issues.
We have curated and collated diverse and inclusive bestselling recommendations which offer a range of different mental health perspectives and would be the perfect addition for any school library
Included are representative books that explore emotions for discussion with younger children, plus a range of teen/young adult reads that feature mental health issues.Â
Every child deserves to see themselves and others around them in the books they read. They deserve to be able to identify not just with the characters they see in the books they read but the issues the characters face in order to become more self-aware and build a toolkit of ways to manage any challenges. Mental health issues in children are at an all time high following the pandemic and action is desperately needed.
Arm your pupils with a library full of books which help improve not only their racial and cultural literacy but also helps fortify their mindsets. Bundles can be bought for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through to Key Stage 4 (KS4).Â
