Help co-design a social prescribing program for caregivers

About the Opportunity

Researchers at McMaster University are looking for caregiver insights to inform a social prescribing program. These programs include non-medical prescriptions that strengthen health and well-being. Participants will be entered to win an iPad.

Who can participate?

They are looking for caregivers who meet the following criteria:

• Currently or recently working (within the last 12 months) in paid employment in any sector (full time or part time)
• Provide unpaid care to an adult dependent aged 18 or older or a child with disabilities
• Lives in Hamilton Ontario

What will be expected of me?

• You will complete two surveys (before and after the program)
• You will be engaging in a developed social prescribing program over the course of 6-weeks
• You will be offered Personal Support Worker Services for your care recipient throughout the duration of your participation in the intervention study

How do I participate?

You can get started by filling out the screening questionnaire. If you have any questions, you can contact Reemal Shahbaz: reemal.shahbaz@mail.utoronto.ca
