Happy Social Prescribing Day from the RECETAS team to you!
Today, March 20, 2025, is Social Prescribing Day. But what is Social Prescribing?
Social Prescribing is a method consisting of connecting people to non-medical support to address issues like loneliness, stress or isolation, topics that we target a lot with RECETAS.
Some countries like the United Kingdom have specific professionals to do this, Social Prescribing Link Workers, but it is really about helping people in need of help to access connection. For example, you can help an isolated loved one by making them join a community gardening group! Which is actually something that we can do with RECETAS : it is good for your health, check it out –> The scientific reasons you should resolve to start gardening.
RECETAS is a Horizon 2020 funded project that aims to connect people together within a setting of nature to help alleviate their loneliness. We are working with 6 different pilot cities, Barcelona, Helsinki, Prague, Cuenca, Marseille and Melbourne, to show how beneficial nature-based social prescribing can be.
As we are embarking on our fifth year of work, we would love to keep you updated on this fascinating journey!
