Our social prescribing link workers help patients to get the right support. Many different patients will be referred to social prescribing link workers. They include:
- People with long-term conditions
- Low level mental health issues
- Those who feel lonely or isolated
Link workers also help people with complex social needs.
Generally, patients speak with a link worker 6-12 times over a three month period. The link worker will connect them with activities, groups, and services in their community. This is for practical and emotional support to help them get back on their feet.
Patients can refer themselves to our social prescribers using the form below.
Holborn Community Association
This is a local organisation that works with the community and local businesses to support and improve the lives of local residents.
Visit their website, and see if they could help you, or you could help them!
From their own website:
“At HCA we create the spaces and opportunities for individuals, groups and the wider community to thrive…
…Situated within the heart of central London, that resident community faces pressures: social isolation, a lack of outside public space, overcrowded social housing and issues of noise and air pollution…
…Balancing those pressures are engaged and active community members who work alongside the strong business community, and the wide array of cultural and academic institutions locally to bring benefit back to the wider community.”
