Caring for yourself in times of need

In times of crisis, change and uncertainty we often focus on how our family, friends, and colleagues are coping whilst forgetting about ourselves. We have put together a list of books that offer comfort, support, and advice for our inner selves. It is just as important to look inward as well as outward during testing times. These books will help.

When You’re Not OK

This is a warm and practical book of tips and wisdom to help guide you through the tough times. Those days when you feel alone — those days when you worry that you’re too weird or broken or unfixable to be normal. With compassion, humour, and honesty, Jill offers signposts to help you find the path back to yourself.

Whether you’re having a bad day, or a run of bad days that seems never-ending, When You’re Not OK is an emotional first-aid kit for your body, mind, and soul, written by someone who’s been there too.

Personal, revealing, funny, and wise, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone opens a rare window onto a world that is most often bound by secrecy, offering an illuminating tour of a profoundly private process.
