Social Prescribing is a way in which individuals who are utilizing the emergency room or consulting their General Practitioner (or other healthcare professionals) for issues generally considered to be social issues, to receive non-medical supports in the community.
Why Social Prescribing? This supports individuals in the areas of physical activity, nutrition, and social engagement as a way of taking control of their own health and enabling them to engage in and contribute to their community.
