Coalition Conversations - Social Prescribing

We are delighted to announce that our Coalition Conversations webinar series will be returning this year. Coalition Conversations will provide a platform to explore new developments and innovations in mental health and facilitate knowledge-sharing within the mental health sector.

Social prescribing is a service aimed at adults who may experience social isolation and loneliness such as older age groups, people with chronic health problems and people with mental health difficulties and psychosocial needs. The HSE is currently expanding social prescribing across Ireland to ensure the service is available in every county by the end of 2023.

This webinar will explore the impact and barriers to implementation of social prescribing in Ireland, particularly as it relates to the voluntary and community mental health sector and recovery focused mental health care.

We will also be launching our new briefing paper on Social Prescribing and the Voluntary and Community Mental Health Sector.
