Tareq is a PhD student in Health at York University under supervision of Prof. Farah Ahmad. His research examines the lived experiences of family caregivers of racialized children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Canada. Tareq’s work focuses on how collaborative community-centred approaches, particularly those aligned with Social Prescribing (SRx) models, can enhance caregivers’ health and well-being through equitable partnerships between healthcare providers and community organizations. His study aims to facilitate knowledge translation that informs and strengthens systems of care in Canada, with broader applicability in glocal context. His research interests also include social prescribing, autism, caregivers’ health, interprofessional collaboration, primary health care, and healthcare quality improvement.
