Social Prescribing Program
About the Program
Many things that affect our health cannot be treated by doctors or medicine alone.
Feeling lonely or isolated, financial stress, housing concerns, caring responsibilities, or a lack of social support can all impact our health and wellbeing.
Our Wellbeing Clinician can help connect you with local services, groups and activities that support your health and wellbeing.
This may include:
- Supporting someone who is feeling isolated to join a social group, art class, community garden, volunteering opportunity
- Connecting someone experiencing financial stress with services that can help with debt, budgeting, housing or accessing financial supports.
- Supporting someone with a health condition, such as high blood pressure, to find physical activities they enjoy and feel comfortable doing.
- Helping people build confidence, strengthen social connections, and improve their overall wellbeing.
Social prescribing recognises that health is influenced by more than medical care alone.
By connecting people with community resources and supports, it can help improve wellbeing, reduce isolation and support better health outcomes.
