Get into Reading

‘Get into Reading’ is an innovative collaboration between Mersey Care NHS Trust, which provides specialist mental health services and The Reader Organisation, a charity dedicated to a ‘reading revolution’ and to putting good books in the hands of the people who do not usually have access to them.




What ‘Get into Reading’ does is create inclusive, safe places where people can come together as equals and, through great books, share creative and critical thinking about life itself in all its manifestations including experience of mental distress.



Evaluation of the ‘Get into Reading’ Groups found clear and tangible benefits for service users across all settings. For more information contact: Lindsay Dyer, Director, Service Users and Carers, Mersey Care NHS Trust on 0151 285 2321 or email: Lindsey.dyer@merseycare.nhs.uk
