Words for Wellbeing
Words for Wellbeing provides you with a list of useful, trusted, self-help resources that have been recommended by health professionals in Queensland. Any library member can access this collection, and Townsville Citylibraries membership is free.
The books and resources available through Words for Wellbeing do not replace professional advice or care from your doctor. If you feel that you may have a mental or physical health issue, it is important that you make an appointment with your doctor or healthcare provider. Your treatment plan may involve some education around your health condition and some recommended reading from our Words for Wellbeing list.*

There is also a range of apps to download to your smart device, and websites that cover many health topics.
