The Social Prescribing Program supports seniors to access non-clinical, community-based services to prevent or delay frailty by fostering resilience and social support using a comprehensive, strength-based approach.
Social Prescribing is an approach to offering non-medical support that enables older adults to identify, set and achieve personal health and wellness goals. A Community Connector helps to find appropriate local programs and services and provides regular check-ins to ensure clients are on track. WE Graham Community Service Society has a Community Connector under the Social Prescribing program supporting older adults in the Slocan area.
