Frequently asked questions

PYSUP is inclusive and for everyone. The overall long-term goal is to improve the social environment for our youth, where we can work together to reduce risk factors, strengthen protective factors, and improve the wellbeing of all children and youth in Nogojiwanong.

PYSUP is a collaboration between community partners like Peterborough Drug Strategy, Camp Kawartha, CMHA HKPR, and Lakelands Public Health.Since 2024, 16 agencies have teamed up to build a strong foundation. For it to work, we need the entire community to join us - including youth, parents, caring adults and local organizations. While our central steering committee provides big-picture guidance, we work directly with neighbourhoods to create local plans to keep youth safe and supported. Help us support local children and youth. Stay tuned for upcoming community events or share your ideas!

Youth's voices and experiences are crucial to this work. Youth engagement will inform local action. We have partnered with the Peterborough Leaders of Tomorrow youth advisory group to amplify youth voices and support youth-driven priorities.Do you work with a youth group who may want to have their voices heard?
