Ophea
Ophea (Ontario Physical and Health Education Association) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting school communities through advocacy, quality programs and services, and partnership building. Ophea is led by the vision that all children will value, participate in, and make a lifelong commitment to active, healthy living.
Ophea's Take Action initiative offers a school based approach to address the use and abuse of alcohol, cannabis, tobacco and other drugs as they relate to chronic disease prevention and to overall health. These resources provide a foundation for youth to make healthy lifestyle choices and develop problem-solving and decision-making skills.
Supported by the comprehensive school health approach, the Take Action initiative supports classroom-based instruction and provides tips and tools to address the development of social supports, social services and a healthy physical environment for Ontario's youth. These resources build upon and enhance the information and content provided through the core Health and Physical Education Curriculum Implementation Support Documents.
Take Action is an initiative of the Ophea's Curriculum and School-Based Health Resource Centre.
