More Recognition

Mamas in Lockdown has been added to the "Books on Prescription" scheme! 

Run by WellSouth Primary Health Network, this scheme is an effective way of helping people with common mental health problems and is based on similar schemes that have been running successfully in the UK since 2003. 

WellSouth gained permission to implement the scheme in New Zealand in 2011 and began working with libraries in Central Otago. Since then the scheme has been progressively rolled out throughout Otago and Southland and is now available in all the Public Libraries (including prisons) in this region, and to staff and students at the University of Otago through the University’s Medical Library. All Books on Prescription resources are reviewed and recommended by health professionals. Mamas in Lockdown can be found under the Maternal Mental Health category.

Isn't that exciting? I'm so proud, all of your stories are making a difference :-)
