Helping You Navigate Community Resources through Social Prescribing
Social Prescribing Day in Canada is March 19, 2025, and it is a day in which we celebrate the growing movement to connect health to social care in support of people’s health and wellbeing. Social prescribing is a way of connecting people to community services and groups that can help with their mental and physical health, and it complements clinical treatments by addressing people’s social needs.
Caregivers Alberta works collaboratively with Healthy Aging Alberta (HAA), The 55+ Social Prescribing Project through Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council (ESCC), the Canadian Institute for Social Prescribing (CISP), the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence (CCCE), Alberta Health Services, and the Government of Alberta Ministries.
