Lanarkshire and our partners are delighted to announce the Launch
of the Well Connected Programme on Wednesday 1st February 2012 on
National Breathing Space Day.
The launch of Well Connected sees us reach a landmark in our
journey in Lanarkshire to use our community assets to support
recovery and promote well-being across all Lanarkshire
communities.
Well Connected is a new programme in Lanarkshire, sometimes
referred to as social prescribing or community referral. It makes
it easier for people to take part in and benefit from activities
and services that we know improve mental health and well-being.
There are eight Well Connected areas available:
• Physical Activity and Leisure Opportunities
• Volunteering
• Employment
• Arts and Culture
• Benefits, Welfare and Debt Advice
• Learning Opportunities
• HealthyReadingand Self-help Information in Libraries
• Stress Control Classes in Communities
In recognition of the significant partnership work involved in
the development of this comprehensive programme, a launch event
will take place in South Lanarkshire andNorth Lanarkshire. At the
launch you will hear from a range of guest speakers about the
background and objectives of the programme, the specific pathways
and opportunities, and supports available to implement the
programme locally.
