Shelf-Help is a project set up by East Dunbarton School Librarians to promote teen mental health and wellbeing. It does this by:
- Showing pupils, through shared reading and writing that they are not alone
- By creating a book shelf dedicated to mental health and wellbeing topics
- By making online reading lists available through GLOW
All books in the library will be identifiable by the “shelf help logo” and included both fiction and non-fiction titles.
As part of this project, there will be a writing competition for all pupils and staff to write 300words or less on “How a Book Saved my Life”.
Entry forms are now available in the library!
Can you think of a book which has ‘saved your life’ by…
- making you realise that you’re not alone?
- making you feel happy?
- helping you through a difficult time?
Entries must be handed in to the library, Guidance or English Department by March 29th and 8 pieces will be published in a booklet later in the year.
