Hello,

We are in the process of creating an internal healthy aging framework. We are looking to see if there are any existing frameworks or strategies others could share or could refer us to.

Thank you,

Stephanie Bale

Overview

The YMCA of Greater Toronto's Youth Cannabis Awareness Program (YCAP) is presently running a Digital Media Contest that challenges youth (ages 18 – 25) to create a video or poster discussing how cannabis use affects youth brain development, and we were wondering if you’d be willing to help us choose a winner by joining the Contest Organizer’s Jury (CO Jury).

The City of Toronto is requesting for community input around alternatives to policing.  This community-based crisis response survey for the alternatives to policing work aims to understand the public's priorities for what a community-based crisis response could look like.

The Youth Gambling Awareness Program recently completed an informative article that outlines the basics of youth brain development and how this development impacts risk taking behaviors. This information is useful for parents and professionals who work with youth!
