Social Prescribing to Support Primary Care Attachment
On October 31, 2025, the Alliance hosted a webinar with guests Tayler Brown and Dr. Peter Senior from the CanScreen T1D Research Consortium.
Our guests spoke about the potential benefits of introducing pediatric T1D screening to Canada, while also reflecting on some of the necessary considerations.
In April 2025, the Alliance for Healthier Communities shared our vision for a Neighbourhood Health Home model of Primary Health Care, which enables regions to attach people to primary health care while addressing health inequities and improving primary care provider experiences. The model offers a path toward connected, equitable, and integrated care for people and communities.

This webinar is presented by the Alliance for Healthier Communities in partnership with participating organizations and evaluators in the Black-Focused Social Prescribing (BFSP) project.
The 2.5-year pilot was implemented by The Alliance for Healthier Communities in collaboration with four Community Health Centres (CHCs) in Ontario: Black Creek, Somerset West, TAIBU, and Rexdale. Through BFSP, dedicated staff called Link Navigators connect clients to programs and services. This project won the National Social Prescribing Innovation Award in 2024.
