Humans are social; however, we are in an epidemic of loneliness. Social prescribing is a model of care that empowers health professionals to formally prescribe non-clinical community activities, like the arts, movement, nature, and service (volunteering) to improve patient health. Social prescribing is intended to broaden the health professionals' toolkits rather than to replace pharmacological measures. Libraries can be part of that toolkit. Join Rebecca Hass and Tammy Turner as they share several social prescribing initiatives and projects inspired by global models and research on the health benefits of meaningful activities and social connection.
