SUMMARY — Culturally Grounded Prevention Approaches

Culturally Grounded Prevention Approaches in the Canadian Civic Context

Culturally grounded prevention approaches are strategies designed to address substance use and addiction by integrating the values, traditions, and lived experiences of specific communities into prevention efforts. These approaches are rooted in the recognition that traditional, one-size-fits-all interventions often fail to address the unique social, historical, and cultural contexts of marginalized or Indigenous communities.
