Social Prescribing

It all starts with a chat.

’’The professionalism, care and understanding that was given was exemplary. My Social Prescribers immediate action/input into my ongoing health issues helped to move things along with the other agencies I have been having issues with and prompted them to take action. Most importantly they listened, heard and understood.

They demonstrated genuine empathy and did something. That in itself was important to me, as it had a genuine immediate impact on improving the current situation regarding my mental health.’’
