Abstract
Introduction: Social prescribing (SP) is a rapidly growing health and social model of care. The concept of social prescribing is based on well-known clinical practices such as community referrals, integrated health and social care, and navigator models. Although SP began in the United Kingdom's mental health and social care field, there are many examples of different models of SP foci and pathways. Here in Canada, SP is emerging at several provincial locations, with differences in its delivery reflecting the local context of people and places.
