CCSA’s Issues of Substance 2025 Conference

We’re looking forward to joining Canada’s largest national gathering on substance use and mental health — the CCSA Issues of Substance Conference, taking place this year on the East Coast.

Planet Youth will be on site throughout the event, sharing insights from our international experience with upstream prevention and community-based strategies to support youth well-being.

Our colleague Melanie Cormier will present on how the Planet Youth Guidance Program helps communities use local data to create healthier environments for young people.

You’ll also find us at our Planet Youth booth, where we’ll be welcoming curious guests, answering questions, and sharing stories from partners across Canada and around the world.

We look forward to connecting with practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders who share a commitment to prevention, collaboration, and positive youth development.
