What is Social Prescribing?

Many of life’s problems can make us feel unwell. Sometimes we all need a bit of support to help us get through the tough times.

Social prescribing is where a person can be put in touch with a Social Prescribing Link Worker.

A Link Worker’s role is to ask what’s important to that person and help them find the right support.

Social Prescribing Link Workers can connect people to a wide range of non-medical support within the community.

For example:

· Social groups, friendship / emotional support

· Support for families, carers and other close relationships

· Housing, benefits, financial and other advice

· Ways to look after our health or become more active

· Opportunities to build confidence, learn new skills or reduce anxiety

· Arts, music or other creative activities

· Getting out and about

Social Prescribing Link Workers are based in local voluntary and community organisations or doctor’s surgeries across the whole of Lincolnshire.
