IFW is a flexible resource that can be used for self-directed learning and also for facilitated group learning in local services.

The Scottish Library and Information Council, the ALLIANCE and the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre are delighted to advise that the Information for Wellbeing course (this link will take you away from our website) is now live and freely available for all library and third sector staff.

It is a key deliverable from the Collective Force for Health and Wellbeing Action Plan (this link will take you away from our website), which aims to develop libraries as key partners in health and wellbeing in their communities

Information for Wellbeing is a blended learning course featuring seven e-learning modules, listed below.

Module 1: Good conversations and empathy

Module 2: Communicating using remote technology

Module 3: Health literacy

Module 4: Providing quality assured health information

Module 5: Words for wellbeing

Module 6: Managing boundaries and difficult situations

Module 7: Enabling everyone to participate

It consolidates learning through inbuilt quizzes, and workbooks for self-reflection and discussion in facilitated group discussion.  It supports personal, self-directed learning, and  encourages networks of libraries and third sector staff to come together in facilitated learning sessions, using the workbook exercises to share experiences and explore collaboration.
