APPG for 12 Step Recovery

APPG Evidence Session on "Social Prescribing and the 12 Steps"

<h3>Dear APPG for the 12 steps supporter, 
</h3>We are running our next evidence session on Tuesday, March 29th at 5pm. The topic is "Social prescribing and the 12 steps".

‘Social prescribing’ is when health professionals refer patients to support in the community, in order to improve their health and wellbeing. Social prescribing is an increasingly used tool in the UK to assist health services in managing the growing numbers of people seeking help for mental health and other problems, including addiction.

Our evidence session will hear from speakers including:

- Ingrid Scherer, Head of Acclerating Innovation, National Academy for Social Prescribing

- Brian Dickens, Group Operational Manager, Parchmore Group, NHS Parchmore Medical Centre, Croydon

- 12 step fellowship Public Information (PI) and Health Liaison Officers 

The goals of the evidence session are: 

a) for 12 step fellowship members - particularly PI and Health Liaison Officers - to be made aware of the relevance of the activities that are happening under the umbrella of 'social prescribing'.

b) for our supporters in parliament, the NHS, police forces and academia - to emphasise how 12 step fellowships have been succesfully 'socially prescribed' for many decades, and to hear stories of how 12 step fellowships are actively engaged with their communities across the UK.
