Social Prescribing
Our Social Prescribers provide personalised one-to-one support for our patients. If you're going through a tough time, Tiverton Wellbeing is here to listen and provide practical advice. The team works collaboratively with GPs and other healthcare professionals, community and voluntary organisations, as well as other service providers in the area.
We can signpost to services that can support with:
- Financial or benefits advice services
- Healthy lifestyle activities (sport and movement programmes)
- Volunteering and learning opportunities
- Emotional wellbeing and peer support groups
- Social groups and activities
The aim is to help people feel more connected, supported and confident, which can lead to better health and quality of life.
In addition to our one-to-one support, we run a few groups locally. To find out more and join a group, get in touch.
Goal and Gather
A friendly, welcoming group that comes together weekly to meet new people and enjoy activities including a quiz, wellbeing activities, motivating goal setting whilst enjoying a cuppa and a chat.
Healthy Me
The Healthy Me Programme is a weekly interactive session for individuals interested in making positive lifestyle changes. We rotate through six key wellbeing topics every six weeks and each session blends simple science with practical tips to support healthier living and promote self-care. The six topics are:
- Habits – How to create routines that support your wellbeing.
- Diet – Looking at food in a realistic and balanced way.
- Movement – Exploring ways to stay active that suit your body and lifestyle.
- Sleep – Why it matters and how to improve it.
- Connections – The importance of relationships and community.
- Mind – Managing stress and supporting your mental wellbeing.
This isn’t about perfection or pressure — it’s about understanding what you can do, in your own way, to feel better and more in control of your health. You’ll have support along the way from us as well as your peers.
HOPE Programme (Help Overcoming Problems Effectively)
The 6-week HOPE Programme supports you to spend some time to focus on yourselves, to consider ‘what is important to me?’ and to prioritise your wellbeing. You will be welcomed into a group of people who are going through something similar to yourself and will be able to understand and empathise with the challenges you are facing. Over the six weeks, you will look at topics such as:
- Mindfulness
- Goal Setting
- Fatigue Management
- Stress Management
- Identify Personal Strengths
- Gratitude Diaries
- Dealing with Setbacks
- Challenging Unhelpful Beliefs
- Healthy Eating
- Physical Activity
Please note, the Goal Setting Group and Talking Hub are weekly and you are able to join whenever you are ready whereas the HOPE programme runs according to demand so if you are interested we can add your name to the waiting list and will invite you when the next group is scheduled.
