Come meet 1 on 1 with Social Prescriber Maddie from the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC). A social prescriber connects individuals with non-clinical community services — such as art classes, gardening, volunteering, or support groups — to address the social determinants of health. They empower individuals to improve their mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing by providing personalized, community-based support that complements traditional medical care.
Social Prescribers can support community members who are experiencing:
- loneliness and disconnection
- mental health challenges
- financial challenges
- food security or housing problems
- And much more! (Such as filling out forms and referrals to other services etc...)
Drop-in 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Wednesdays at Richmond branch or book an appointment with Maddie in person, or email, call:
