Funded by The Government of British Columbia

The Seniors Social Prescribing Program is a pathway from your health practitioner’s office to our Seniors Community Connector to receive personalized help connecting with the community and managing health and well-being.
Social Prescribing works alongside clinical treatments to address people’s needs in a holistic way. Social prescription can include physical activities, social activities, nutrition/food security programs, caregiver programs, and opportunities to access services in the community.
Social Prescribing provides support by identifying what is required to improve overall well-being. Services may include, banking help, transportation, paperwork assistance, parking passes, legal advocacy and access to grants.

“Life changing. Quite honestly living in pain and so desperately alone that I didn’t want to live anymore until I started to receive the help. You assisted with finding a dentist and the funding for dental and medical care so I was no longer living in pain and alone.”
