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.
Social prescribing improves health outcomes, addresses the social determinants of health and supports wellbeing. Social prescribing also supports integrated care, can provide a pathway for attachment to primary health care, and supports system sustainability by helping to ensure that clients see the right provider at the right time.
Attend this webinar to find out more about how Black Focused Social Prescribing improves health care experiences and outcomes for Black people and communities in Ontario. Explore how culturally affirming care has positive impacts on clients, staff, organizations and the health system.
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.
Join our panel of staff, evaluators and Black health leaders for a lively conversation!
