The Canadian Centre for Innovation in Child & Youth Mental Health & Substance Use
We generate innovative solutions to strengthening mental health and reducing substance use harms for children, youth, and their communities.
What’s New?
At Wellstream, we’re proud to partner with the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA), the Canadian Association of School System Administrators (CASSA), Physical and Health Education Canada (PHE), and The Students Commission of Canada to develop Anchoring Change – a national initiative to transform school-based substance use prevention, education, and intervention in Canada. This initiative just released a pan-Canadian standard: School-Based Substance Use Prevention, Education, and Intervention — A Multi-Tiered and Developmental Approach for Kindergarten to Grade 12 Schools.
Developed under the management of CSA Group, this standard provides a national framework to give K-12 education professionals clear, evidence-informed guidance to support student substance use health and well-being.
