Prevention Programming and Risk Reduction

Substance use and mental health are not terms that are unfamiliar, but they are NOT commonly referred to in the world of Prevention. We are proud to bring Prime for Life Programs to Canada, offering individual and group services to break down barriers, reduce stigma, normalize conversations, and help people understand the mental and physical risks associated with substance use. Education empowers people to make informed decisions. These interactive learning programs will have a lasting impact on those who are curious to learn more. The best part about participating in such a program is that you cannot unlearn the information, it will sit with you and influence you personally, as well as, in your roles as a spouse, parent, friend, family member, colleague, coach, community member, etc…! Mental health and addictions affects each and everyone of us in some capacity, either directly or indirectly. Creating a community of acceptance and change for the better!
