It’s Social Prescribing Day!
Today we’re celebrating the difference social prescribing is making to people’s health and wellbeing, including the fantastic work happening with primary care staff in Levenmouth.
Many things that affect our health can’t be fixed by medicine alone. Loneliness, money worries, stress, housing challenges or feeling disconnected can all have a real impact on how we feel.
Social prescribing helps by connecting people to non medical support that truly makes a difference.
This might mean joining a befriending group, taking part in a community garden, getting help with debt or benefits, trying an activity to support physical health, or accessing dementia friendly groups that help people stay socially connected. It’s about improving wellbeing, building confidence, and changing the circumstances that can make people unwell in the first place.
In Fife, we have a Community Led Support Services and a team of link workers who offer social prescribing.
Great to work with Levenmouth colleagues on how this approach can help local people thrive.
Together, we’re building a healthier, more connected Fife.
