World Mental Health Day 10th October 2015



Feel better with a book
Check out the Reading Agency’s 2015 list of mood boosting books. There are some of my favourites on this list, including “The Miniaturist” by Jessie Burton, Rachel Joyce’s “The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy” and “The Shell Seekers” by Rosamunde Pilcher.

Remember how good it felt to be read to as a child? Well, listening to stories is not just for kids. Research has shown that reading aloud and being read to can help alleviate the symptoms of mild depression and enhance well being. So why not join one of our friendly and informal shared reading groups and take an hour out to relax with a good book? Stories are read aloud and group members can read or just listen as they choose, there’s no pressure.  

Groups are held weekly at Pontypool Library (Wednesday 10.30am – 11.30am) and at Torfaen Mind’s Wellbeing Centre, George Street, Pontypool (Wednesday 2.30pm – 3.30pm).

Fortnightly at Court Farm and Oakfield Community Hall, Cwmbran (Monday 11.30am – 12.30pm).

We'd love to see you there!
