What is Social Prescribing?
Social Prescribing can help with things that affect someone’s wellbeing but cannot be fixed by doctors and medicine alone. If someone has a problem that is not medical, Social Prescribers can help them connect with the most appropriate support. Social Prescribing also aims to tackle loneliness and isolation, helping people to feel more in control of their lives and part of their community.
