The Planet Youth approach empowers communities to work together to address the root causes of early substance use. The aim is to create healthy communities for children and youth, with a focus on reducing risk factors in young people’s lives and strengthening protective factors such as positive relationships with family and friends, involvement in extracurricular activities, and school engagement.
Using the Planet Youth approach, communities in Haldimand and Norfolk will gain valuable insights into the health and wellbeing of young people, implement effective solutions, and track changes over time.
