Documents to Download 

Below you can click the links to download all of the materials you will need to participate in the bibliotherapy scheme in Gwent. You may be familiar with these from bibliotherapy packs originally distributed to professionals working within Gwent. You can now replenish your stocks of these materials by downloading and printing what you need!

Each component you will need (The Booklist, The Manual, Leaflets for Professionals, Leaflets for Families and Recommendation Pads) can be downloaded from here.

The Manual: This contains a description of the scheme and provides a brief synopsis of each book that can be recommended by you. This will be available soon.

The Booklist: This is the list of the 31 books included in the scheme. They address common issues for families including anger, behaviours, bereavement, bullying, confidence and self-esteem, development, divorce, new parents, potty training, sadness and sibling rivalry. The list highlights those books that have been rated as easy to read and provides enough detail for people to buy their own copy if they wish to.

Information Leaflet for Professionals: This leaflet for professionals using the scheme contains a short synopsis of the scheme, it's approach, who it may be useful for, and why it may be useful.

Information Leaflet for Families: This leaflet for families contains a short synopsis of the scheme, ways of using the scheme, our approach and challenges that families may face when using the bibliotherapy scheme.

Recommendation Pads: These are used to recommend books to families. Filling one out for a family will allow them to take it to their local library in Gwent and access the book recommended, for the recommended time.
