Social Rx
About Us
Social Rx® is a short-term program designed to link you to locally available support services and community based resources using a social prescribing approach.
PCCS can help you to tackle the non-medical barriers to your health and wellbeing, issues such as housing, social and community networks, family relationships and other socioeconomic factors that you and your doctor cannot address alone. We work with you to identify meaningful goals and to develop a personalised plan to meet these needs while reducing isolation and disadvantage.
