What Is Bibliotherapy?
What exactly is bibliotherapy and how do we use it? Bibliotherapy is another tool for our homeschooling, parenting, and wellness toolbox.
If bibliophiles are lovers of books, I’ll bet you can guess what bibliotherapy is!
You nailed it! Using books as a medium to help facilitate the healing process in therapy.
Bibliotherapy is a form of creative arts therapy that uses literature to help you improve your life by providing information, support, and guidance through reading books and stories. Books and other written material can influence human emotions and provide wisdom, emotional connection, insight, and comfort.

How It Works
At HCN, we believe in the benefits of bibliotherapy. Join us monthly in our private Facebook group as we chat with authors here to help support you in your homeschool.
Each month, HCN will choose a reading selection. The book choice will be announced at the beginning of the month in our private Facebook group. Group posts will feature author interviews for the featured month’s reading recommendation.
We hope to encourage healthy discussion and dialogue among members to offer encouragement and support. Members are also encouraged to recommend and discuss various bibliotherapy suggestions.
