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 Social Prescriber 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. Themes of support can include
Abuse
Addiction
Bereavement
Carer/Dependent
Financial
Home Support/Safety at Home
Housing
Mental Health (Community/Social Support)
Self Management (Social groups etc)
Training/Learning/Volunteering
Employment
Literacy
Suicide Prevention (usually not main issue)
