The Art of Social Prescribing: informing policy on creative interventions in mental health care

社会处方提供了一种手段，使初级保健服务能够将有社会、情感或实际需要的病人和服务使用者转介到一系列地方非临床服务，这些服务通常由志愿和社区部门提供。这种非临床方法在精神卫生保健部门获得了更多的共鸣，因为它们具有积极主动的预防性质，并且有机会在一系列跨部门组织中提供战略性的“联合”服务。在利物浦城市地区，有许多非常有效的基于艺术的干预措施和精神卫生保健举措的例子，由默西护理NHS信托基金和领先的艺术和文化组织，包括国家博物馆利物浦，泰特利物浦和读者组织带头。拟议的网络旨在建立在这些举措和相关研究计划所产生的学习成果的基础上，为城市中基于艺术的社会处方的战略发展提供信息，包括为参与组织共同制作的政策框架，以及随附的“如何做”指南，用于心理健康艺术和社会处方的应用研究。这将通过一系列专题研究发展讲习班来实现，参加者来自学术界和相关政策和实践界。然后，在供资期结束时举行的会议活动期间，将利用区域模式为国家辩论和政策制定提供信息。

Social prescribing provides a means for enabling primary care services to refer patients and service users with social, emotional or practical needs to a range of local, non-clinical services, often provided by the voluntary and community sector (VCS). Such non-clinical approaches are gaining added resonance in the mental health care sector due to their proactive, preventive qualities, and the opportunities created to provide strategically 'joined up' services across a range of cross-sector organisations. Within the Liverpool city region, there are many examples of hugely effective arts-based interventions and initiatives in mental health care, spear-headed by Mersey Care NHS Trust and leading arts and cultural organisations including National Museums Liverpool, Tate Liverpool and The Reader Organisation. The proposed network seeks to build upon the learning outcomes generated by these initiatives and associated research programmes to inform the strategic development of arts-based social prescribing in the city, including a co-produced policy framework for participating organisations, and an accompanying 'how-to' guide for applied research on the arts and social prescribing in mental health. This will be achieved via a series of themed research development workshops, with participants drawn from academia and relevant policy and practice communities. The regional model will then be used to inform national debate and policy development during a conference event to be held at the end of the funded period.
