title: A reading group in acute mental health care.
abstract: Training provided by The Reader Organisation enabled Berkshire Healthcare Foundation Trust to run reading groups for people in acute inpatient mental wards. A five-week pilot project provided an opportunity for patients to spend some time off the wards to enjoy reading together. The group offered a therapeutic engagement and self-expression.
