Our Vision:  To ensure that all young people will be able to live their lives free of problematic substance use. 

Making a positive impact.

At Substance, we’re touching the lives of families across the country—providing evidence-based information about substance use to parents, guardians, and trusted adults, and helping them have meaningful conversations with the young people in their lives.

In 2025, a total of 219 health and activation events, live presentations, and online webinars were accessed by 15,661 adults and youth. For more information on our webinars, contact us at info@substancecanada.org

Throughout our transition from DFK to Substance, we've remained firmly committed to keeping families informed and supported with our up-to-date resources and guidance on building and maintaining strong connections with youth.

In 2025,  we also introduced:

Mind-Blowing! - Creative videos delivering substance use education with a fresh, engaging twist.
