Description

Many things affect your health and wellbeing. GP's report that a lot of people visit them feeling isolated, lonely, or stressed out by work, money and housing problems. Sometimes it's the stress of managing different long-term conditions. That is where social prescribing comes in.

A social prescription offers the kind of help that doesn't come in a tube or bottle. It could help you improve your health and wellbeing to make positive life changes. Some examples of help include:

• Advice for carers
• Housing, benefits and financial advice
• Employment, training and volunteering
• Healthy lifestyle and physical activity
• Local activity and interest groups
• Befriending, counselling and support groups
