How the scheme can help
Studies show self-help reading can help you manage your health conditions.
Although books can sometimes work on their own, research has shown that self-help approaches work best when you also have support from a health professional.
You may also use the self-help books independently as a first step in seeking help.
What if the book doesn't help you?
If you find that the book you're reading isn't helping, you should contact your GP or health professional for further advice.
