In an example of creative ministry the Daughters of Charity help initiate a bibliotherapy  project Aimed at people who do not seek therapy.

The Herald of Ireland rites, “The scheme is aimed at promoting mental health and well being of individuals and families. Delivering psychological therapy by means of books is termed “bibliotherapy” and with Irish people so reluctant to seek psychological help it is hoped that stocking the libraries with books on these serious subjects will help to spread information about how people can get help.”
