#SocialPrescribing
„Hast du schon mal Yoga probiert?“
Nicht nur sind solche Aussagen gegenüber psychisch kranken Menschen absolut übergriffig - sie sind auch klassistisch. Denn ja: Ein ausgewogener Lebensstil mit vielen ausgleichenden Ressourcen würde präventiv wirken für die Entstehung und Verschlechterung vieler Krankheiten.
Aber: Das muss man sich auch erst mal leisten können. Man muss erst mal die Kraft und auch die finanziellen Ressourcen aufbringen, um tolle kulturelle Erlebnisse planen zu können, zum Sportkurs zu gehen oder sich das „Dorf, das es braucht, um ein Kind zu erziehen“ aufzubauen.
Könnte es helfen, wenn Ärzt:innen präventiv und akut soziale Aktivitäten per Rezept verschreiben könnten? Das zeigt zumindest die Studienlage.
Salutogenese beschreibt ein Konzept, das sich nicht primär auf die Vermeidung oder Heilung von Krankheit konzentriert, sondern auf die Förderung von Gesundheit – also: „Was hält Menschen gesund?“. Social Prescribing ist mehr als eine „nette“ Maßnahme - es lenkt den Blick auf das, was Menschen wirklich mental stark hält: Ressourcenstärkung und Gemeinschaft.
Was haltet ihr von sozialen Aktivitäten auf Rezept?

What is Social Prescribing? 💧🌱
Polly, our Social Prescribing and Outreach Manager, explains our commitment to improving community wellbeing through our social prescribing and community outreach scheme. Social prescribing connects individuals to non-clinical services, such as saunas, to support their overall health. A leading reason for referral is isolation and loneliness.
In the sauna, something shifts. You physically unfurl, and you notice the person sitting on the bench next to you. Conversations flow naturally, and before long, you’ve made a new friend - in a way that feels completely out of place in London.
If want more information about being socially prescribed sauna, please email [email protected]
If you are Newham based, you can access us via their social prescribing platform JOY.

Social Prescribing is ‘a way of connecting people with activities, groups and services that improve their health and wellbeing’, and its proven to treat all kinds of physical and emotional ailments, including: depression, addiction, trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, dementia, diabetes and loneliness.
It’s basically a wonder drug that’s not a drug, swapping out medication for socialisation, and creating a healthier and happier planet as a result.
Walking in the woods, swimming in the sea, dancing in a field… these things are ancient answers to many of the health challenges of modern life.
And TONIGHT at the Shelf Help Club we’ll be hosting journalist, Julia Hotz, an expert in the science and spread of Social Prescribing and the author of, The Connection Cure; The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art and Belonging, to learn more about how we can all get involved.
Join us! 💛

Loneliness .. the silent killer.
Social prescribing is an embedded service where doctors can refer patients to non-medical activities and clubs.
➡️ It is about connecting patients to community groups and resources to motivate isolated people to find ways to participate more in social, cultural, or physical activities.
Social Prescribing can be helpful for people who:
✅ have social, physical or mental health needs that are impacting their daily lives
✅ want to connect with and maintain social connections
✅ want to improve their overall wellbeing
There is emergening evidence that social prescribing has positive wellbeing and health outcomes.

@doctorsogood cool post - “Do real work!”
And I am sharing it in connection to “Social Prescribing: a way to address patients’ social, emotional, and practical needs by connecting them with non-medical community-based support and activities, often through a “link worker”. Instead of a drug prescription, patients receive a social prescription for services like community groups, art classes, or sports activities that can improve their overall health and well-being. This approach aims to empower individuals, enhance their sense of purpose, and address social determinants of health that can impact physical and mental health outcomes.”

Great to see the health benefits of singing being talked about from a biological point of view. As a holistic activity, group singing supports the health of the whole person, an aspect that has been ignored by the traditional mechanistic view of medicine.
.
Public health approaches & measures like social prescribing are starting to implement healthy societal activities recognising that a healthy society creates healthy individuals.
.
But feeling empowered to participate in singing is still a big obstacle to overcome for many people. Prescribing & funding singing groups is an important step in overcoming the barriers faced to participating in singing & accessing the many health benefits it supports.

“Social” prescriptions from your doctor? Yes!
What if for the sake of our mental and physical health doctors wrote prescriptions for cycling groups, fishing clubs, or volunteer positions on a farm? Those are real scenarios in Julia Hotz’s (@hotzthoughts) THE CONNECTION CURE: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service and Belonging, “the first book exploring the science, stories, and spread of social prescribing.”

Emily’s smile says it all 💫
This is what it looks like when you step into leader training …teaching your first song, hearing it sung back in harmony, and being completely lit up with joy. Emily is smashing it!
Leading songs with women is meaningful work, and it’s joyful work. 🌟
We’re opening leader training again early next year so if you’d love to be with us on this incredible mission to saturate the world with songs…then drop us a DM and let’s talk about how this could be your next step. 💕
We are on the search for the origin of this song.. if anyone knows.. please reach out and tell us! Thanks :)

I love how the benefits of dance are becoming more well-researched and more well-known. Social prescribing is on the rise (Google if you haven’t heard of it) and the innovative ways in which dance schools can pair programmes with broader public health initiatives and outcomes is really exciting to me.
