Correction: A headline in the October 25 issue of this newsletter mistakenly indicated that the EENet team developed the resource The Blunt Truth. It was actually developed by the Margaret and Wallace McCain Centre for Child, Youth & Family Mental Health’s Youth Engagement Initiative at CAMH, based on Canada's Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines (LRCUG). The LRCUG are an evidence-based substance use intervention initiative, supported by the Canadian Research Initiative in Substance Misuse. We apologize for the error. Please also find an updated link to some of the resources we shared here.
