The Icelandic Prevention Model is an evidence-based approach that has successfully reduced substance use and improved youth well-being in Iceland over the past 20 years. It works by bringing the community together to address risk and protective factors in the environments where youth are growing up. Known as Planet Youth, the approach is now being adapted in communities around the world.
Join us for a presentation from Jón Sigfússon and Robin Katrick of the Planet Youth team, who will share the background, guiding principles, steps to implementation, and tools available for communities interested in getting started.
