Social Prescribing Link Worker Service

What is a Social Prescribing Link Worker?

Social Prescribing Link Workers (SPLWs) can help you to take control of your health and wellbeing by linking you to services that can help with:

Mental Wellbeing          Social Activities

Benefits Advice              Family/Carers

Employment                   Volunteering

Debt Advice                    Education

Housing

and more….

SPLWs can work with you to develop a wellbeing plan, identifying root causes of your problems and linking you with the most appropriate support, along with activities that help improve wellbeing.

They will work with individuals for anything from 2 to 6 weeks depending on needs.

The Social Prescribing Link Worker Service is not a crisis service. Anyone in crisis should contact their GP or the appropriate crisis services.  

SPLWs are not support workers, social workers, counsellors, or mental health specialists.

To book an appointment contact CLPCN’s reception or speak with your GP for a referral.
