Ensuring a continuum of care
through social prescribing
Clic Social is a tool designed to facilitate access for people in vulnerable situations to non-medical community services that are complementary to the healthcare system. As of now, our social organizations are based in the territory of the West-Central territory of Montreal
We are promoting a collaborative and holistic approach to healthcare
Clic Social is committed to building a network that leverages the community services to the benefit of the entire population. We are part of a global movement of people that are bringing together community and healthcare expertise to better address all the determinants of health.
We want to make
Social Prescription easier
By creating an account on Clic Social, healthcare professionals can quickly identify and prescribe to their patients complementary non-medical services. They can print or send this prescription to the patient via email with the simple click of a button.
A work in progress
Clic Social is a project in the testing phase. Community resources are added to the portal constantly. Its development is based on feedback from its users and many new features are to come. We invite you to come and enrich its development by taking part now in this great movement for the overall health of the population.
