Using a Healthy Schools approach, Take Action is a FREE, downloadable resource that supports educators and engages school communities in teaching safety awareness regarding medicines and harmful substances and provides information about tobacco, alcohol and substance use through the integration of health and physical education expectations.
Take Action 7-8 assists school communities in addressing alcohol, cannabis and tobacco use and abuse prevention among youth.

Please Note: In an effort to ensure that all curriculum-based programming aligns with the revised Health and Physical Education (H&PE) curriculum, the Take Action program will no longer be available for download from the Ophea website starting in June 2012. At that time, educators and health units will be directed to Ophea’s H&PE Curriculum Resource to support curriculum implementation in their schools.
The Ophea H&PE Curriculum Resources are now available online to educators in partnering school boards and health units in both French and English through a password-protected site at: http://hpe.ophea.net.
For schools and health units not subscribed to these resources, please contact Vanessa Richichi at subscribe [at] ophea [dot] net for more information on how to gain access.

Take Action is funded by the Government of Ontario.
Take Action in Secondary Schools has been made possible by a financial contribution from Health Canada.
