The Canadian Institute for Social Prescribing (CISP) is a new national hub to link people and share practices that connect people to community-based supports and services that can help improve their health and wellbeing.

Get Involved

We are committed to building and celebrating social prescribing that prioritizes health equity, community leadership, and collaboration. 

A global movement

CISP is part of a global movement of people bringing community capacity and healthcare services closer together by directly addressing the social determinants of health, from loneliness and social isolation to racism and ageism to income and housing and much more. 

Voices of Social Prescribing

The value in social prescribing is best demonstrated by amplifying the voices of those currently involved in the practice. Bridgeable has captured some of their stories through a video reflection series. Hear the perspectives of healthcare providers, link workers and community partners below.

Health Care Providers

Social prescribing enables healthcare providers to refer people to local, non-clinical services, including community and social services.

Link Workers

Link workers (also known as community connectors, navigators, coordinators, and other titles) are a crucial component of social prescribing.

Community Partners

Cross-sectoral community partners hail from the volunteer and community sectors, and aim to improve individuals' physical and mental health.
