6 Perfect Therapeutic Stories for Helping Kids Navigate Mental Health :)

When Talya and I connected, I could not be more excited to share her stories and her journey. Focused entirely on creating a therapeutic reading experience for children during lockdown, the literature felt aligned with Book Therapy's goals and values and I had to dig deeper!

Talya Bruck is a Dramatherapist, Creative Arts Supervisor and Systemic Practitioner who works in a CAMHS service in the UK. She also has a private supervision practice and works for OurTime helping to run Kidstime workshops. She has over 20 years experience working with children, young people and their families. She trained initially as a Drama Teacher in her native South Africa. She is the founder of Savanna Therapeutic Stories, whose aim is to help open up conversations that can be tricky through the aid of story for primary aged children. A full list of Talya's books can be found here and in the Q&A link.

We did a short Q&A chat with Talya to find out a little bit more about her and the therapeutic literature that she writes. Here's what Talya shared with us and why we're super excited about the power of her stories to help young children navigate their own mental health: https://bit.ly/therapeuticstories

A big hello and thank you for watching! Passionate about literature, psychology, and life I launched Book Therapy as an alternative form of therapy using the power of literature. I train mental health professionals, librarians, teachers as well as readers on using bibliotherapy in their own work through our online Bibliotherapy, Literature and Mental Health course (https://www.booktherapy.io/products/b...). We also curate reading lists/personalised book prescriptions for clients based on their individual needs. This is our signature personalised reading service: https://www.booktherapy.io/products/p...

You can also check out Book Therapy’s other free reading lists and A- Z of book prescriptions (covering both fiction and non-fiction). These suggest books based on your existing life situation (e.g. anxiety, job change, relationship heartache) as well as interests (e.g memoir, historical fiction, non-fiction, crime etc). There’s also a Children’s A — Z of Book Prescriptions. Feel free to check out the blog for more literary gems. There’s also a post on my personal story of how I entered the world of bibliotherapy and book curation.

In this role, I have had the opportunity to publish a book called The Happiness Mindset, and write various literary essays and pieces for newspapers and magazines. I have undertaken bibliotherapy workshops for The United Nations, various libraries in New York and corporate organisations in the UK and US. My book recommendations have featured in the Guardian, Marie Claire, NBC News, Asian Voice, New York Observer, Sydney Telegraph and various other publications. If you are a parent you might enjoy a podcast I’ve recorded with speech and language therapist Sunita Shah on Raising A Reader & Storyteller.
