PEP-AH is a network of almost 40 Canadian universities and colleges, the Canadian Centre for Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) and Universities Canada, that is using an evidence-based framework, and encouraging collaborations to help reduce alcohol harms and address drinking culture on Canadian campuses.

We invite you to learn more about PEP-AH and join the discussion. We will hear from students and experts, share best practices, learn about on-campus initiatives and talk about strategies to help support student health, well-being and safety.

Student voices are key to PEP-AH’s success; we encourage staff and faculty to bring students on your campus who are engaged in health promotion/alcohol harm reduction- related work. The CCSA can support student travel costs. If you are a student registrant, please e-mail christina.alcena@utoronto.ca for more information.
