Weed Out the Risk: Free Training

Springboard Services is offering a free training, Weed Out the Risk (WOTR), an evidence-based program designed for youth that explores the risks of driving impaired or under the influence of cannabis. Grounded in harm reduction, WOTR includes a variety of interactive components to engage participants and increase learning. Since 2014, the program has been delivered in over 350 high school classrooms across Canada.

With funding from Health Canada and the Ministry of Education, Springboard is able to offer complimentary training and resources to social service workers and groups. This professional development training takes 1-hour, and can be done either in-person or over Zoom. Once trained, learners will have full access to WOTR as well as a library of youth-centered educational workshops.
