Reading Well for children recommends reading to help children understand their feelings and worries and cope with tough times. The books have been chosen by children, carers, health experts and librarians. They are endorsed by leading health organisations such as NHS England, Mind and the Royal College of GPs.

The booklist is targeted at children in Key Stage 2 (aged 7-11) and includes a wide range of reading levels to support less confident readers, and to encourage children to read together with their siblings and carers.

Reading Well for children is supported by: The British Psychological Society, Carers UK, Carers Trust, Mental Health First Aid England, Mental Health Foundation, Mind, National Association of Primary Care, NHS England (Children and Young People’s Mental Health), Public Health England, Royal College of General Practitioners, Royal College of Psychiatrists.
