IMPACT LIFE — EST. 2020
Social Prescribing +
Primary Care Program
Redefining recovery and wellness through whole-person, trauma-informed care.
This community-based initiative integrates primary care, behavioral health, nutrition, and social prescribing to bridge the gap between clinical treatment and everyday life. Through personalized wellness plans, participants engage in both clinical and non-clinical supports—from counseling and nutrition sessions to creative, movement, and peer-led activities—helping individuals restore health, connection, and purpose.
WHAT IS social prescribing?
Social prescribing connects people to non-clinical, community-based activities that support recovery and well-being. These include:
Gardening and art workshops
Movement and mindfulness classes
Culinary and nutrition sessions
Peer and creative expression groups
This approach addresses social and environmental barriers—like isolation, food insecurity, and stress—by promoting meaningful engagement and belonging.
program goals:
Integrate primary care and social prescribing for physical, mental, and emotional health.
Reduce health disparities through accessible nutrition education and dietitian support.
Build community connection and engagement.
Offer trauma-informed behavioral health counseling and care coordination.
