More about Planet Youth Mississauga: Erin Mills Connects and The Dam are together implementing the first stage of the unique Icelandic Prevention Model (IPM) in Mississauga. They were chosen by the Public Health Agency of Canada to join six other groups across Canada for Stream 1 of the implementation plan. Until August 2025, The Dam, EMC and local partners will build community coalitions and develop deeper connections with school communities in preparation to move to Stream 2 to collect information about youth substance use and protective factors. The Minister of Mental Health and Addictions and Associate Minister of Health Ya’ara Saks made the announcement in June 2024. Read more about the national program HERE. For more information on Planet Youth Mississauga, visit our page HERE.
