e10: Applied Creative Research: Social Prescribing
March 16th, 2023
18:30-19:30 GMT (London, UK) • 1:30-2:30 EST (North America, Eastern)
We’ll be discussing “A Two-year Evaluation of the Young People Social Prescribing (YPSP) Pilot,” by Bertotti, Frostick, Sharpe, & Temirov. (2020). This paper evaluates a pilot program for Social Prescribing with young people. Social prescribing is being appraised as a new approach supporting well-being and mental health by engaging in cultural/community activities. We will consider the types of social prescribing activities used in the pilot and how academic research can be practically applied.
This meeting has passed, but we would love for you to join us next time!
