Healthy Me, Healthy Community

The Healthy Me, Healthy Community program aims to build individual and community connections to reduce loneliness and improve wellbeing in Port Macquarie.

The service provides a 15-week social support program designed to support, encourage, and empower people to engage or re-engage with social connection and activities of their choosing.

Healthy Me, Healthy Community is based on the ‘social prescribing’ approach. Social prescribing aims to combat the mental and physical effects of loneliness and poor ‘social health’ by supporting people to get involved with activities that support health and wellbeing and reduce the risk of chronic illness, such as participating in volunteering, social groups, arts, cultural events or physical activity.

The program is funded by Healthy North Coast through the North Coast PHN program and is delivered by Feros Care.
