What an absolute treat it was to have Sue Knowles and Bridie Gallagher come to our library to talk about mental health and anxiety for us! Sue and Bridie were promoting their new book My Anxiety Handbook, which is illustrated by Friends of Chorley Library's own Emmeline Pidgen! Sue and Bridie are local psychologists who have written the book to help young people navigate anxiety.
The talk took us through strategies for coping with anxiety and we played a few fun games (which got everyone up and walking around the library!) to better illustrate some of the ways we deal with mental health issues.
It was such a hugely informative, warm and reassuring talk - thank you so much to them for coming along! It was a joy to organise this event with The Friends of Chorley Library, and we hope to do many more in the future!
