Social Prescribing Alongside FareShare – Friday, 11th October

On Friday 11th October, the Jurassic Coast Social Prescribing team will be at Drimpton Village Hall between 9 and 11am to talk about any non-clinical wellbeing issues you may be experiencing.

At its most basic, social prescribing offers the kind of help that doesn’t come in a tube or bottle (non medical). Instead, a ‘social prescribing link worker’ will work with you to provide support, help and information that will enable you to access services or activities that may improve your health, wellbeing and overall enjoyment in life.

SOME OF THE AREAS THEY CAN SUPPORT YOU WITH:

  • Carer Support
  • Housing related queries
  • Welfare benefits & debt advice
  • Help with daily living tasks
  • Making lifestyle changes
  • Combating isolation/loneliness
  • Living with anxiety/depression
  • Bereavement support
  • Frequent attendance GP or A&E

Come along for a coffee and a chat with the team.

Note: This will be alongside FareShare operating that morning but your privacy will be maintained.

The team work across Bridport, Beaminster and Lyme Regis and attend each practice at least twice a week. The team can see patients at their medical surgery, at home or via a telephone or video call.

You can contact the Social Prescribing Link Worker by telephoning: 01308 428943 or 07467 549715.
Monday – Friday, 8.30am – 4.30pm
