Social prescribing approaches for health equity and community climate resilience
This event is hosted by CASCADES in partnership with the Canadian Institute for Social Prescribing.
Join us on May 29 at 12pm for the Social prescribing approaches for health equity and community climate resilience, part three of the Primary & Community Care Implementation Series.
Social prescribing is one name for a set of practices that enable “trusted individuals in clinical and community settings to identify that a person has non-medical, health-related social needs and subsequently connect them to non-clinical supports and services within the community”.
In this session of the Sustainable Primary & Community Care Implementation Series, we will hear from a multi-disciplinary team who are putting social prescribing concepts into practice, learn more about building community engagement and resilience, and co-creating programs:
- Gary Bloch, Family Physician and Physician Lead, Equity and Social Interventions, St. Michael’s Hospital Academic Family Health Team
- Nassim Vahidi-Williams, Manager, Community and Patient Engagement, SMHAFHT
- Sandesh Basnet, SEED Program Link Worker, SMHAFHT
- Janet Rodriguez, Lived Experience Expert Advisor, SMHAFHT
Moderated by Sonia Hsiung, Director, Canadian Institute for Social Prescribing.
