Planet Youth Timiskaming
Planet Youth Timiskaming is based on the Icelandic Prevention Model, a proven approach to reduce alcohol, tobacco and drug use among young people and improve their wellbeing.
Planet Youth empowers communities to work together to address the root causes of early substance use. The model’s whole population approach aims to reduce the ‘risk factors’ that increase the likelihood of early substance use, and most importantly, to strengthen the ‘protective factors’ that can prevent it.
There are three action teams across the district. The Central Action Team includes Brethour, Charlton and Dack, Chamberlain, Earlton, Elk Lake, Englehart, Evanturel and Hilliardton.
