Social prescription is an approach enabling health professionals to refer people in need of help to address their health and wellbeing for non-medical support like local group activities. It can be an effective alternative to medication or other interventions. Miranda Thain, Artistic Producer at Theatre Hullabaloo, said: "We see the positive effects of playing creatively with your little one and feeling confident to use those skills in your parenting - whether it be reading, singing or music making - in our work with families every day. Social prescription provides an important route for families who might need extra support and care to take part in programs of this type.
Parents noted key differences between the sessions and typical play groups, which they said could be chaotic and overwhelming. The same group of people attended the study sessions week on week, which parents said was better for developing new connections than typical playgroups, which are open to one-off drop-ins.
