Social Prescribers in Mansfield

What ways can a social prescribing worker support you?

A social prescribing link worker might introduce you to a community group, a new activity or a local club. Support to access services such as benefits, legal advice or counselling. They can support you to create something new such as a gardening club, a fishing group, a ‘men’s shed’ or knit and natter group.

How to access this support

Contact your GP and arrange to have a conversation with your doctor or other professional from your GP practice about why you feel you would benefit from this support, at this point they will discuss support that would be the best fit and what are some of the mental health challenges you are facing at present. Many individuals who access this service have come to it due to feeling isolated, or lonely, anxiety and low mood, money and housing problems or those suffering from the impact of managing different long-term conditions.

Studies show that people who work with a social prescribing link worker get better and feel better faster than those treated with medicine alone. In Mansfield we have a number of social prescribing teams who are there to support.
