Our Community Link Practitioners provide flexible support, tailored to your own individual circumstances, and are able to offer the time needed to talk through your situation.
They work within GP practices and are part of the practice team and help you to find ways to:
- be more active
- support your mental health
- be healthier
- be more socially connected
- live well and more independently
- deal with your finances
This could be by finding local community groups where you can meet others with similar experiences or interests, sourcing organisations offering advice on topics like money and benefits, coping as a carer, or housing. They can also help you contact services to talk through your worries or problems. For example, feelings of isolation, loneliness or relationship difficulties.
Community Link Practitioners can also come with you to appointments and activities until you feel confident enough to go by yourself. They work with you at your own pace for as long as it takes and support people of all ages as well as families.
