As a society, we have been on a trajectory that is simply not sustainable. Perpetual economic growth is impossible and GDP is a poor measure of a country’s wellness. Mother nature has been crying out for help to no avail. Our school systems are outdated. Our values are out of whack. We worship the wrong heroes. We are overly materialistic and have forgotten the simple pleasures, the things which matter most. We are connected but more disconnected than ever. What if the Coronavirus is the ultimate pause and reset button?

YAP is a youth-focused FASD prevention initiative that encourages young people to create resources and projects that raise awareness of FASD and other alcohol-related harms among their peers. Saskatchewan youth (between the ages of 14-24) develop projects and/or resources to share with their community.
The YAP program integrates and applies a number of strategies to youth-focused FASD prevention. First, using a philosophy of youth engagement as the basis of the program, youth are supported to create positive change in their lives and in their communities. Second, the YAP program is characterized by a harm reduction approach, focusing on the consequences and risks of substance use rather than on use of the substance itself. For example, rather than suggesting total abstinence from alcohol, the harm reduction approach recognizes that not all youth will simply stop drinking. The harm reduction approach focuses instead on providing skills and tools to reduce the harms experienced through alcohol use. Third, the YAP program facilitates peer-to-peer prevention, by providing skills, resources, and support to participants in creating resources and projects specifically tailored to the needs of their peers.

Students who have self-regulation challenges benefit from increasing their understanding of their learning needs. Leah Kuypers developed the Zones of Regulation Curriculum to help students develop social, emotional and sensory regulation. Sequential lessons were taught to individuals and to whole classrooms. In the activities, students learn how to use strategies or tools to consciously regulate their actions, which in turn leads to increased control and problem solving abilities. As a culminating activity a SMART table activity will be created for students to show their learning of the different zones. The Smart table activity will also allow students to share the tools or strategies that they found effective in each of their zones.
