Canada's hub for social prescribing. Le pôle canadien de la prescription sociale.
About us
The Canadian Institute for Social Prescribing (CISP) is a new national hub that aims to foster, share, and celebrate practices that focus on non-medical approaches to well-being and connect people to services in the community. By leveraging the value of social prescribing, healthcare providers and community organizations can address social determinants of health that can affect a person’s health and well-being. CISP is anchored by the Canadian Red Cross with financial contribution from the Government of Canada.
