This health promotion project aims to increase the knowledge, supports and skills of students studying in medical, youth and community service fields. The goal? To equip these emerging professionals to better support those experiencing drug, alcohol and mental health concerns.
Health Pro+ aims to positively contribute to the landscape of healthcare for future generations of young people to receive quality care and support for drug, alcohol, and related issues.
