Online Learning for Prevention Standards

The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA) has released an online learning module that will help prevention professionals better understand the Portfolio of Canadian Standards for Youth Substance Abuse Prevention. The module aims to help prevention teams, mental health professionals, school administrators, law enforcement personnel and others to plan, select, implement and evaluate prevention initiatives in their communities and schools, and at home.

The module:

• Identifies barriers to implementing the Canadian Standards for Youth Substance Abuse Prevention
• Clearly lays out how the Standards apply in policy making and day-to-day practice
• Walks users through case studies to provide examples of how the Standards can be put into practice
• ​Provides concise explanations of the tools and resources available in the Standards
