This year's Mental Health Awareness week's theme is relationships and book publicity specialist Literally PR is working with some pertinent authors who write on all sorts of relationships, from parenting to playground peers, and mental health issues including PND, anxiety and depression.

Being Me (and Loving It)- This innovative book, created by Naomi Richards (The Kids Coach) and Julia Hague, takes 29 real-life case studies to demonstrate why self-esteem and body confidence in children aged 5-11 is important ... and how to build confidence. Each example is presented as part of a ready-to-use lesson plan that builds into a comprehensive, usable guide for teachers, but it is also proving incredibly popular with parents who want to support their child.

This book covers a huge range of issues including lack of body confidence, feeling pressured by peers, bullying, and worries about puberty. To create the lesson-plan structure, each story is preceded by guidance on how to introduce the topic and the learning outcomes and is followed by a range of activities to reinforce the messages being taught. Publishing by JKP, the book (released April 2016) is a multifaceted resource that could be used with groups of children in PSHE lessons or in one-to-one settings in therapy or at home.

What you've got is what you want - even if it hurts- Adam Jukes' book has a hard-hitting title that's intended to speak directly to people who are troubled by their lives and want to make. The book has not been written as a self help book, instead it is written to encourage the reader to really think about themselves and the way they act. Within 'What You've Got Is What You Want', Jukes examines his ‘Mad Hypothesis' - so called because it seems, at first glance, to be ‘mad.' For years he has used it successfully in therapeutic work to refer to everything that is wrong in a patient's relationship and even their life: "You are responsible for everything that is wrong with your relationship including any behaviour of your partner which you use to justify, excuse, or in any other way account for your own behaviour towards him/her, or the world in general."

Heart, Broken: My Journey to Self Healing- Jackie has written her life story to inspire others to take charge of their own wellbeing. She believes her physical illness was caused by the beliefs she learnt in her childhood, which shaped her thoughts and actions in later life. Her turbulent life created dis-ease in her mind, causing disease in the body - for Jackie, it's as simple as that. Jackie's story will resonate with a wide audience that has, at some point, suffered difficult times. Whether it's being bullied at school, enduring crippling bereavement, becoming a victim in an emotionally abusive relationship or getting sucked into others' distorted realities. Jackie wants to share the most important message she's learnt: Youcanheal yourself, naturally.
