UCD Books on Prescription Scheme - Health and Wellbeing

The professional staff in the UCD Student Health Centre in cooperation with the UCD Library Service have put together a selection of books to inform and promote the student’s sense of health and wellbeing.
These books cover a wide range of topics including mental health, spirituality, physical health, nutrition, sexual health, sport cookery and even DIY.
Some of the books have been written by leading experts and may be used as an additional form of treatment for people with mental health issues, often containing a self-help plan. You may be recommended a book by a member of the health team or welfare services or you may simply access the book yourself.
Where are the books located?
The books are located in the UCD Health Sciences Library, adjacent to the UCD Student Health Centre. Enter the UCD Health Sciences Centre. The library entrance is directly in front of you.
Follow the signage to the "Health & Wellbeing" on the ground floor near the stairs. You will find your book there.
The books are available on loan to ALL UCD students by using their student card, with or without a prescription.
Confidentiality
Library staff are professionals and will treat you with respect and discretion. They won’t divulge any personal information about individual borrowing.
