SUMMARY:Building Community-Based Wellbeing or "Social Prescribing" in the Library [NICHE ACADEMY]
DESCRIPTION:From NICHE ACADEMY:\n\nHumans are social\; however\, we are in 
 an epidemic of loneliness. Social prescribing is a model of care that 
 empowers health professionals to formally prescribe non-clinical community 
 activities\, like the arts\, movement\, nature\, and service (volunteering) 
 to improve patient health. Social prescribing is intended to broaden the 
 health professionals' toolkits rather than to replace pharmacological 
 measures. Libraries can be part of that toolkit. \n\nJoin Rebecca Hass and 
 Tammy Turner as they share several social prescribing initiatives and 
 projects inspired by global models and research on the health benefits of 
 meaningful activities and social connection.\n\nRebecca will present 
 examples of community health partner initiatives and projects including 
 Healing Library Kit: Death of a Loved One and take a deeper dive into the 
 successes and challenges experienced at Maryland’s Anne Arundel County 
 Public Library and their work with Tammy Turner\, including Annapolis 
 Pediatrics\, Hospice of the Chesapeake\, and Care Prepared.\n\nYou’ll 
 leave this session with not only an understanding of the growing trend of 
 social prescribing but also with ideas of ways to integrate library usage 
 into our communities’ well-being tools.\n\n \n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nJoin
