Social Prescribing

What is Social Prescribing?

Social prescribing is a healthy, evidence-based, effective and environmentally friendly way of trying to treat common physical and mental health problems without relying only on medicines. Social prescription can be very varied and individually tailored to a patient. It may involve, for example, exploring ways of increasing your social life, helping you to get some exercise, helping you spend time interacting with nature or water, or helping you to volunteer to help others.
