FaithAction Coffee House: Social Prescribing

Social prescribing is a way for people to receive referrals to local, non-clinical services that can help with a range of needs. These referrals, or ‘introductions’, often come from a healthcare setting, but a wide range of organisations can make them, and self-referrals are also possible.

At FaithAction, we think this is a fantastic opportunity for faith-based organisations to become more closely linked with local statutory services.

During this Coffee House, we’ll be discussing social prescribing, the challenges as well as successes it faced during the pandemic, the opportunities for social prescribing looking ahead, and the involvement of faith in all of the above.
