Why a forensic psychiatrist describes the Get Into Reading project as the most significant development
in mental health practice in the last 10 years" by Clare Allan




Some quotes from participants in a pilot 'Get into Reading' scheme:

'Relaxing, stimulating and helps with concentration'

'Challenging but relaxing'

'Listening to a story is very therapeutic'

'It's very cosy and safe.  It's not like being in a classroom, you're not wrong, it's just an opinion'

'Non-threatening and the literature is challenging'

'Not at all like teaching, it's really interactive'

'Very different and good reading aloud, so unlike a teaching environment'
