Help or advice with any practical, financial or social issues that are affecting people in Liverpool.
Our Pathways Advisors can signpost or refer you to appropriate Mersey Care or partner services, to support your specific needs. This is what we call ‘social prescribing’ – it’s like getting a prescription from a GP if you are unwell, but instead we ‘prescribe’ or refer you to expert services that can support you with mental and physical wellbeing, and social factors like housing issues, training opportunities, or financial difficulties.
A Pathways Advisor might refer you to support for:
- Mental wellbeing – for example, referrals to counselling services, clinical assessment, and wellbeing information groups.
- Physical wellbeing – for example, referrals into diet and exercise support services, health condition specific-support groups, smoking cessation, and substance misuse services.
- Social activities and support networks – for example, referrals/signposting to common interest/social groups, families and older person’s activities, and befriending services.
- Family/caring roles – for example, referrals for carer’s assessments, early help pre-assessments, occupational therapy, needs assessments, and family/parent support.
- Financial difficulties – for example, referrals for support with food, energy, debt and benefits advice, grants, white goods, and furnishing.
- Housing issues – for example, referrals for support with homelessness, housing rights, repairs, home adaptations, and general housing support.
- Employment and volunteering – for example, referrals for support with CV/application forms, interviews, self-employment, career change, employee rights, and health and disability support at work.
- Training and learning – for example, referrals/signposting to employability programmes and certifications, vocational learning, and adult learning opportunities.
