In this workshop we will be exploring how the way we are commissioning and delivering support for people is transforming in South Glos. One of our exciting projects is to develop an Enabling Service- if reablement is about relearning to do what you could do before, Enablement is about learning completely new skills. The workshop will be an interactive session, exploring what this should look like, and how it could work in practice.

For many of us, being out in nature makes us feel happier and more relaxed. There is evidence that access to natural space positively impacts people’s wellbeing and benefits people suffering from conditions such as dementia or depression and yet most of us don’t really talk about it when we meet people and complete assessments. This workshop gives practical tips about how we can include nature wellbeing in our conversations with people, what is available locally- many of it for free, and tells the story of how we used the 3 Conversations Model to be really creative when someone no longer had access to their own garden.
Delivered by Helen Jackson-Brown, Independent Social Worker and Project Lead for Promoting Nature Connection & Green Social Prescribing in Care Act Assessments and Emma Baker, Senior Practitioner Social Worker.
