Many of life’s problems can make you feel unwell. Social prescribing enables you to talk about the issues you’re facing and find the right services to support you. It is non-medical and involves a conversation.

·         Housing, benefits, financial and advice

·         Employment, training and volunteering

·         Education and learning
