Social Prescribing is the practice of supporting individuals to improve their health and wellbeing in non medical ways – by engaging with your local health professionals, you can support existing library users through signposting, and encourage others to participate in activities offered within your library.
The Social Prescribing working group have developed a Pathway document to support you if you wish to explore this further. If you have any questions please contact jane.swindall@communitylibrariesnetwork.org or contact us through the Social Prescribing forum here
