Meet your local Social Prescribing Link Worker
Hello, my name is Katy and I am the Social Prescribing Link Worker as part of the "People Keeping Well" project for all of the Stocksbridge and Upper Don region; including Stocksbridge, Oughtibridge, Deepcar, Wharncliffe Side, Bolsterstone, Midhopestones, Upper Midhope and Ewden.
What is Social Prescribing?
Many things affect our mental health, feeling isolated and lonely, stress from work, worries about money and housing problems or the stress with having to manage different long term conditions.
The social link worker is here to listen to you and put you in touch with people and activities that might help you feel better. They may introduce you to a community group, a new activity or a local club.
They might help you find legal advice or debt counselling.
They might just help you find information and guidance: a bit of inside knowledge on your situation or what local resources there are.
Social Prescribing can help you to have more control over your own health and find ways to improve how you feel in a way that suits you.
If you would like anymore information please contact Katy on 07444142359 or email katy.travis@stocksbridgeclc.co.uk
