Social Prescribing - shared resources
It gives us great delight to share this exciting resource that North East Wellbeing's , Dr Toby Quibell, Jenna Charlton, PhD and Dr Alexandra Battersby have developed for us, describing their journey to developing a Link Worker-led Social Prescribing Programme for children aged 7-11.
An original remit of our Child Health and Wellbeing Network was to share good practice, and this action plan and associated link worker manual offer members the insight into a social prescribing model for children and young people. Developed in Newcastle, it will help share their learning and support local projects within the region to guide their implementations.
Whilst there are other celebrated models within our region, this piece of work is specific to the Zone West model that has to date has shown meaningful gains in the following key outcomes:
- Language and communication
- Social-emotional mental health and wellbeing
- Quality of life
