Key Takeaways: 🔹Wider language - Social prescribing may not resonate 🔹Understand the silence - are the same groups disengaged across all services? 🔹Those doing the connecting don’t need all the answers—they’ll find the info if supported 🔹 Leaders act on identified gaps

Emerging themes: 🔍 Need clarity—does social prescribing work as a term for children? 🤝 Call for joint Family Hub & social prescriber meetings 👶 Primary care to refer people to family hubs Antenatal services 📞 Incentivise & encourage peer support—phone a friend!

What is social prescribing? In Walsall we define this as 'Social prescribers enable people along a journey to achieve their personal wellbeing goals in a way and at a pace which builds their personal resilience'.

To support integrated neighbourhood care & Family Hubs, we need to grow social prescribing. Opportunities: 🔹Grow the social prescribing workforce 🔹 Explore family/proxy prescribing for under-5s 🔹 Build connecting skills & automate referrals 🔹 Tackle gaps in local provision

Family Hubs are at the heart of support for children & young people in Walsall. In just 12 months, over 9,634 people visited one of our 4 hubs. They're a vital space for 0–19s (up to 25 with additional needs) to get help, advice & connection 👉walsallfamilyhubs.co.uk/
