Monthly Development Workshops

The YLAP's monthly development workshops will focus on comprehensive capacity-building strategies. Each workshop will encompass the process of developing and strengthening the skills, instincts, abilities, processes and resources that youth, families, and communities need to survive, adapt, and thrive in a fast-changing world. The essential ingredient in YLAP's capacity-building is transformation, which will be generated and sustained over time from within; transformation of this kind goes beyond performing tasks to changing mindsets, behaviors, and attitudes.

Community Action Teams

The YLAP's community action teams will engage the local community in the design and implementation of prevention programs which has the potential to improve individual and collective health and well-being. The YLAP's ‘whole of community’ approach will foster collaboration between local stakeholders to understand local substance use/misuse issues. This will ensure that communities can implement evidence-informed activities.

Resources/Interventions

The mission of YLAP's prevention is to deter the onset of substance use/misuse by providing all individuals in a population with the information and skills necessary to prevent the problem. The YLAP will help youth and families identify prevention resources and interventions that are proven effective and evidence-based.
