Well Connected is sometimes called community referral or social prescribing. It is a mechanisms for linking people with non-medical sources of support within the community & provides an evidence based framework for:
– developing alternative responses to mental health problems and low levels of well-being
– a wider recognition of the influence of social, economic, environmental and cultural factors on mental health and well-being
– improving access to mainstream services and opportunities for people with mental health problems, low levels of well-being or those socially excluded.
