Notes
The resource was developed in consultation with students and teachers
This knowledge kit is part of a series of resources based on evidence drawn from published research and practical literature as well as from the experience of educators across Canada. It seeks to set out the strategies most effective in addressing substance use in schools. All of the kits are linked by a commitment to a population health perspective that underpins the comprehensive school health approach and a common conceptual frame for understanding substance use and the related risks and harms. This kit is designed to assist school administrators in their role in helping to shape school policy and the school environment.
