Today is #SocialPrescribingDay. Not only does social prescribing take pressure off the NHS, it brings people together and promotes social connection. It's especially important for voluntary organisations, allowing them to better connect with those who need their help. We champion bringing people together and in doing so, allowing local communities to thrive as one. Discover more about social prescribing 👇 https://lnkd.in/g5qv432P

🌟 Understanding health information is essential for proper healthcare, yet underserved populations often face challenges with complex medical instructions. Did you know that nearly 40% of adults in Ireland have low health literacy? This leads to issues like Sarah, a single mother from a rural community, misunderstanding her child’s asthma medication. 💡 Gewardz Health is dedicated to improving health literacy by providing clear, easy-to-understand educational resources and personalized support. By partnering with businesses, communities, sports clubs, NGOs, and charities, we aim to foster a more informed and healthier society. Empowering individuals with the right knowledge can prevent health complications and enhance wellness. Connect with myself or Gewardz Health today to see how we can support your community today! Together, let's bridge the gap in health literacy! #HealthLiteracy #GewardzHealth #CommunityWellness #AccessibleHealthcare #IrelandHealth

CaringBridge is a resource that has come up in my discussions with family caregivers as an essential resource time and again. How many of you have groups of people you text, email, and/or call with updates? How many of you don't have a chance to do an update until very late at night or very early in the morning and you worry your update will disturb the folks who want to know what's going on? CaringBridge is a place where you can post one update and the people who want to know what's going on can read it when it works for them. Your support network can organize meals, make monetary donations, or whatever you need, all in one place. This is a free way to make things a little easier on yourself. I highly recommend checking it out. #caregiving #caregivers #diagnosis #dementiacaregiver #cancersupport #ALS #multiplesclerosis #parkinsons #specialneeds #dementia #hospice #healthcare #alzheimers #veterans
