Welcome to these wiki-based web pages that serve as a shared work space for professional researchers, non-governmental organizations and local agencies interested in preventing substance abuse and other addictions through school-based and school-linked programs.

The purpose of this section of the CSH wiki is to collect the educational, planning, assessment tools related to substance abuse prevention. We also have a page on CoP news and activities. Notes from the CoP calls, meetings and web meetings are listed as sub-pages.

We also monitor and post the latest news, research, resources and reports on school substance abuse prevention within these pages in cooperation with the International School Health Network. This page displays the latest postings (tweets) from the ISHN Twitter-based news/research feed and will eventually include a blog-based commentary on emerging trends and important items.

This wiki is kept up-to-date by its members and is part of an ongoing knowledge exchange (Community of Practice) that includes:
  • the joint planning of a symposium and sessions at the annual School Health conference
  • webinars on selected topics
  • other activities organized by the lead organizations and individuals who are working together to create a community of practice on school mental health promotion

Announcements

  • The Council on Drug Abuse has received funding from Health Canada to develop and deliver a national, youth-led, aboriginal focused version of its successful prevention program. CASH and the International School Health Network will be organizing knowledge exchnage activities to support the people implementing the program. This will enable us to hold several webinars and other activities. Watch for more news soon posted on this page.
  • CASH recently helped Health Canada to develop ideas on how they can learn from national and regional projects funded as part of the Anti-Drug Strategy. Much of our input was drawn from the webinar series on implementation issues we did in the fall of 2010 .
  • Thank you to the many people that commented on the draft CCSA Standards for School-based Prevention of Substance Abuse this Fall. We submitted those comments and were told that this input would be considered in the next phase of consultations on that document. The revised version of the CCSA Standards are now out. Watch for our analysis that will be posted on these pages.
