Green Social Prescribing

Green Social Prescribing is a collaborative programme offering nature-based activities to support mental health and well-being. Developed by Centre4 and partners, this programme provides individuals on NHS mental health waiting lists access to activities while they await or continue their care. 

What is Green Social Prescribing?

Green Social Prescribing connects individuals with nature-based activities to support mental and physical health. This approach uses the healing power of nature to complement traditional health care, promoting wellbeing through outdoor experiences and community connections.

Green Social Prescribing is designed for those currently on mental health waiting lists or receiving care. This programme provides a unique, nature-focused way to complement traditional mental health support, enhancing well-being through community connections and outdoor activities. 

 

Through Green Social Prescribing, participants experience a range of benefits that support mental and physical well-being, including:

  • Reduced stress and improved mood
  • Enhanced self-esteem and confidence
  • Increased physical fitness through gentle exercise
  • Stronger community connections and reduced isolation

Green Social Prescribing is a holistic, community-focused solution that encourages a healthier and more balanced lifestyle by harnessing the benefits of the natural world.
