Thursday, October 8, 3:30-4:30 PM
Drug education isn’t what it used to be and that’s a good thing! Evidence tells us that promoting mental health and addressing problematic substance use is about two key elements: i) helping young people develop the knowledge and skills to navigate today’s world and ii) fostering a greater degree of connectedness within school communities.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive look at evidence-based approaches to promoting mental health and reducing problematic substance use and will introduce participants to a range of BC resources that can help put research to practice.
Facilitators:
Cindy Andrew, Helping Schools Program Consultant, Centre for Addictions Research of BC at the University of Victoria
Jennifer Gibson, Teacher, École John Stubbs Memorial School, Sooke School District #62

This webinar is taking place as part of the first annual Healthy Schools Week (hosted by DASH BC) a week dedicated to ensuring all students are healthy, engaged, and connected at school.
