What is Social Prescription?
Social prescription is a way of linking patients to non-medical support in their community. This can include activities like art classes, gardening groups, volunteering opportunities, and support groups.
Benefits of Social Prescription:
- Reduces Loneliness: Social isolation can have a significant impact on mental and physical health. Community activities help you build meaningful connections.
- Boosts Mental Health: Engaging in hobbies and social activities can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
- Improves Physical Health: Many community activities, like walking groups or dance classes, encourage physical activity.
- Enhances Quality of Life: Being part of a community gives you a sense of purpose and belonging.
