There are times when we all need support to address life’s challenges. Knowing how to access available support locally can make a big difference.
Social Prescribing helps you to explore services, groups and activities that can support you to improve your health and emotional wellbeing, for example:
- healthy lifestyles
- arts, music & creativity
- befriending, counselling & support groups
- Carers support
- housing, benefits and financial support & advice
- employment, training & volunteering
- education & learning
- getting involved with local groups
- accessing specialist groups or services
We have a Social Prescriber who works for us and the other GP surgeries in Rural Rother as part of our Primary Care Network. She has appointments at Battle Health Centre on a Friday morning. To find out more and self-refer, visit the Rural Rother PCN website.
