Black-Focused Social Prescribing (BFSP) was a 2.5-year pilot initiative that aimed to augment social prescribing practices by developing and applying a culturally affirming model of care, specifically designed to address the unique health inequities faced by ACB communities. The 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.
This report describes the program, its outcomes, and its impact, including benefits both to participants and to providers. It also outlines success factors that emerged for successful implementation of BFSP across sites, challenges and adaptations, and a vision for future expansion and structural integration of BFSP within health systems.
