We know that taking care of your health involves more than just medicine. Social Prescribing can provide support for more than medical issues. Your local Community Link Worker will spend time with you exploring what matters to you and help you to identify activities and/or local support which could improve your health and wellbeing. You can consider the benefits of participating in them, and we will assist and support you to plan your next steps.
Your Community Link Worker can help you with a range of issues, including:
- Social isolation
- Loneliness
- Emotional wellbeing
- Healthy lifestyle choices
- Getting out and about
- Life changing events such as birth, retirement and bereavement
- Long term health conditions
- Loss of confidence/purpose
- Poor health linked to housing or housing conditions or
- Struggling with financial issues
- Accessing work, training, or volunteering
Social prescribing via the Community Link Worker is available for everyone.
