COMMUNITY CONNECTOR GOLDEN

Social Prescribing represents a healthcare approach that recognizes the profound impact of social and environmental factors on a person’s well-being. This approach involves connecting older adults with non-medical services and activities in their community, and they can be referred to a community-based Social Prescribing program by their primary care physician or other health practitioner.

Social Prescribing Community Connectors play a crucial role in engaging with these older adults and linking them to a wide range of local, non-clinical services provided by community agencies.

These social prescriptions can include various activities like participating in community groups, clubs, or classes, engaging in exercise sessions, joining walking groups, sports clubs, art classes, or music therapy, and exploring volunteer opportunities.
