NBHC Engagement
August 02, 2018

A Horizon client was inspired to create the Healing Books Project because of the support she found in self-help and therapeutic books while in treatment for PTSD. The bibliotherapy program was supported by Horizon's Addictions and Mental Health team and delivered with the New Brunswick Public Library Service (NBPLS) and supported by MindCare NB. Books in the Healing Books Project are identifiable by a butterfly icon, which appears on the item's online catalogue record, as well as on a bookplate inside books. Books are also part of a space within the NBPLS online catalogue called the Mental Health "room."
