Developing Targeted Knowledge Products for Education Professionals to Facilitate Implementation of the Blueprint for Action: Preventing substance-related harms among youth through a Comprehensive School Health approach (the Blueprint for Action)

The Public Health Agency of Canada’s Centre for Mental Health and Wellbeing has a requirement for the development and dissemination of knowledge products tailored to specific roles in the education sector, designed to support uptake of the Blueprint for Action: Preventing substance-related harms among youth through a Comprehensive School Health approach. This will involve developing a suite of role-specific resources for distinct education professional audiences (e.g. teachers and administrators) that provide practical, detailed guidance on adapting and implementing the strategies outlined in the Blueprint for Action in line with their respective roles, responsibilities, and operating contexts. There is also a requirement for strategic dissemination of these products to a wide network of Canadian education professionals and other school stakeholders to support implementation.

The contract period will span up to one year, in order to allow for meaningful engagement of school stakeholders given the complex education landscape in Canada.
