Great article, Karen. I live in the UK but wasn't aware of the term either. Really good to know there are GP's who want to get more involved from a mental health perspective.

Thanks Helen. I wondered how well known it was in the U.K. It's a great initiative. Let's hope it continues to get funded!

I had no idea about social prescribing, so thank you! It makes a tremendous amount of sense, though.

You are welcome Shelley. I really hope it takes off here in Australia. It seems to have been building a lot of momentum in the UK.

Thanks for this Karen. I was unaware of the term 'social prescribing' and the role that it plays. Happy Social Prescribing Day tomorrow!
