Social prescribing and health coaches
There are social prescribers and health coaches working across Havering who can support you with your symptoms.
Contact the GP practice you are registered with to find out more about accessing them.
Social prescribers can signpost you to a range of local services, including services to support:
- social, emotional and physical wellbeing
- weight-loss programs, exercise classes, local activities and clubs
- substance misuse, gambling
- debt, housing advice and volunteering opportunities
- loneliness and elderly support groups.
Health coaches aim to help people make these positive lifestyle changes, with the aim of leading to long-term behaviour change.
They help through setting goals and targets, establishing healthier habits and increasing people's knowledge, skills and confidence.
