The Connection Cure
Book • 2024
In this book, Julia Hotz combines diligent science reporting, moving patient success stories, and surprising self-discovery to illustrate the lasting and life-changing power of social prescribing.
Instead of traditional pharmaceutical prescriptions, social prescribing involves referrals to community activities and resources.
Hotz shares stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed through social prescribing, such as an aspiring novelist who copes with trauma through art workshops, a policy researcher who tapers off antidepressants through swimming courses, and an army vet who forms meaningful friendships through phone conversations.
The book emphasizes the importance of reconnecting to what matters to us to improve our health and well-being.
