New national guidance aims to revolutionize the way Canadian schools approach substance-use prevention and response. Developed by a team of experts at the University of British Columbia, the comprehensive guidance framework is designed to equip educators and administrators with the tools and strategies needed to address the complex issue of substance use among students. The guidance, which was informed by extensive research and consultation with stakeholders, provides schools with a proactive and supportive approach to preventing substance use, as well as responding to incidents when they do occur. By prioritizing the physical, emotional, and social well-being of students, the new guidance seeks to create a safer and healthier learning environment for all.
