About this Event
Youth substance use and mental health vulnerability often intersect in complex ways, particularly for young people facing multiple risk factors. This session is designed for agencies working with at-risk and vulnerable youth and focuses on shared approaches to prevention, stabilization, and supporting youth experiencing overlapping challenges.
With presentations by Foundry, PCRS/ASTRA, Coquitlam RCMP, Fraser Health – Youth Concurrent Disorders, and Lindsey Hansen – Youth Advocate and Lived-Experience Speaker, this session brings together perspectives from across the youth-serving system to build common understanding, encourage connection, and strengthen coordinated responses for youth and families.
