Social Prescribing
Healthcare providers play a key role in supporting caregivers – they are often the first to identify signs of caregiver stress and can interfere early to prevent burnout.
That is why Caregivers Nova Scotia, with funding from the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence powered by the Azrieli Foundation in partnership with the Canadian Institute for Social Prescribing, are launching the Social Prescribing Pilot.
The goal of the project is to increase the identification and referrals of caregivers from healthcare professionals to Caregivers Nova Scotia Association.
