Connecting Seniors to Community: The Power of Social Prescribing

Social prescribing is an innovative approach that supports the well-being of older adults by addressing the social factors that influence health. The In Place Social Prescribing Network connects seniors engaging with the healthcare system to non-medical community supports, promoting a holistic approach to aging in place.

This session will explore how social prescribing works, its impact on senior-serving organizations, and the ways it enhances quality of life for older adults by reducing isolation, improving mental health, and strengthening social connections. Participants will learn how healthcare, community resources, and meaningful social engagement work together to support overall well-being.

The presentation will include an overview of the network, success stories, and practical strategies for integrating social prescribing into existing services. Join us to discover how In Place Social Prescribing is redefining aging well in the community.
