> Much of the SP research has been with the isolated elderly and SP research

> paper on global developments in social prescribing in BMJ Global Health in

> 2022 and the SP global movement is growing fast. The UK have incorporated

> social prescribing into their national health system (NHS) with positive

> impact on individuals mental and physical health and on the health systems

> as well as on the mental health of SP providers. We recently developed,

> implemented and evaluated the first Social Prescribing program for children

> & youth in Canada with a manuscript in the works but meanwhile see our
