Chief Investigator: A/Prof Amanda Hutchinson

Funding Amount: $97,389

Recipient: University of South Australia

Overview: Bibliotherapy has been a successful adjunct therapy to support adults with cancer and promises to be similarly advantageous in children. The challenge is how best to adapt current practices for children. We propose to work with families, health professionals, librarians, co-design specialists and teachers to co-design an informed bibliotherapy intervention.
