Well-being on Prescription launched in the municipality of Oldebroek
In the municipality of Oldebroek, Well-being on Prescription has been launched. This approach helps residents feel better by engaging in activities that suit them. Think of sports and exercise, creativity, relaxation, or eating together in the neighbourhood. Together with the well-being coach, residents explore the available options.
Many positive experiences
Well-being on Prescription is a nationwide approach. There are already many examples of people who have had positive experiences with it. The municipality of Oldebroek believes it is important that everyone can participate in their own way. Well-being on Prescription fits perfectly with this principle. By taking part in activities that suit you, you often feel better. You gain more self-confidence and feel stronger in your daily life.
Councillor Liesbeth Vos – van de Weg: “It is important that you can share your feelings and that someone listens to you. Everyone wants to feel heard and seen. That is what I find so beautiful about Well-being on Prescription. It really looks at the resident’s story and what suits them. It is personal and involved. Together, you take steps in a way that suits you, for example by being around people more again. That way, we look out for each other and can do something for one another.”
Approach
Residents can be referred to a well-being coach, for example, by their GP, practice nurse, or district nurse. They can also contact staff at the Social Team directly. During an introductory meeting, wishes, interests, and possibilities are discussed. The well-being coach thinks along and helps find a suitable activity. If desired, the coach can support the first steps, for example by accompanying someone to an activity.
The support is provided by staff from the Social Team and Goed Bezig. This support is free of charge. Within a week of the referral, the well-being coach will contact the resident to make an appointment.
