Asset-based and Inclusive:

The importance to wellbeing of being connected to family, friends and communities is now embedded within integrated care thinking and policies. Approaches such as asset-based community development, social prescribing, shared lives schemes, and community navigation are helping to transform health and care systems from being deficit focussed to building on the aspirations and strengths of individuals and communities. There is, however, a risk that such approaches replicate inequalities in society through not being accessible to disadvantaged groups and working with the communities which already have the most assets.
