Youth Substance Use

Planet Youth Nogojiwanong - Brought to you by the Peterborough Youth Substance Use Prevention (PYSUP) Initiative

​​

Peterborough Drug Strategy is fortunate enough to be co-coordinating the PYSUP Initiative. Peterborough is joining communities across Canada to work towards youth substance use prevention using the Icelandic Prevention Model (IPM). With Planet Youth's mentorship, we will be implementing this long-term, community-driven approach to ensure youth are immersed in healthy, supportive social environments and learn to adopt healthy behaviours.
