Valley Youth Partnership for Engagement & Respect (VYPER) Details
Big Picture: Valley Youth Partnership for Engagement and Respect (VYPER) is a Health Canada-funded youth adult collaborative project running across the Fraser Health region (Burnaby to Boston Bar) of British Columbia. The project's ultimate aim is to delay, reduce and prevent illicit and non-prescribed drug use and related harm among youth (age 12-24).VYPER approaches youth substance use through the lens of the social determinants of health. In so doing, it acknowledges that substance use and especially substance use-related harm requires a response that considers the complex interplay between environmental conditions, cultural and historical contexts, and personal and interpersonal factors.Goals: VYPER has three overarching goals:support youth resilience by strengthening and expanding collaborative, respectful relationships with responsible, caring peers and adults;build supportive environments that open space for youth to explore and re-evaluate their social and personal identities – moving toward self-assigned preferred identities that are based on personal strengths and capabilities;co-create a range of meaningful youth roles and responsibilities that support the development of a sense of self-efficacy (gaining more control over the decisions that affect their lives) and reduce fatalism (creating opportunities to discover a more positive outlook for the future).
