Social Prescribing Service (Harrow)
It is widely recognised that people’s health is impacted by not only health factors but by a range of social, economic and environmental factors. Working closely with GP surgeries in Harrow, we offer personalised support to empower people over 18 living in Harrow to take control of their health and wellbeing.
Social prescribing is designed to support people with a wide range of social, emotional or practical needs. It can help to strengthen personal resilience and reduce health inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing and physical inactivity, by increasing people’s active involvement with their local communities. It particularly works for people with long-term conditions (including support for mental health), for people who are lonely or isolated, or have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.
Speak to your GP and ask about Social Prescribing and how it may help you.
