Social prescribing is a mechanism for linking patients in primary care with community servivces and care. This report aims to demonstrate opportunities for linking mental health promotion to the broader public health and regeneration agenda, and, extending the commitment to mental health promotion across the system. There is a need to make the case for the added value of mental health promotion to the Modernisation Boards within the NHS, and to a wide variety of other stakeholders. It will require a strategic approach with local authority responsibility for economic and social wellbeing, and the increase in education about citizenship.
