Social Prescriptions
Social prescriptions are a means for healthcare, community, and social service professionals to refer people to non-clinical and non-medical services that, along with existing treatments, can be a therapeutic tool for improving health and well-being.
This asset-based approach goes beyond treating illnesses. It recognizes people as not just patients with needs, but as community members with gifts to share, while supporting them to engage with community events, classes, wellness sessions, tickets for museums, movies, and other activities.
The process of referrals:
This program is available for target groups at different times. If you are an RCHC client, ask your primary care provider for a referral.
