2026-2027 Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Survey
We’re excited to announce that the Tanner Steffler Foundation will be running another Youth Mental Health & Substance Use Survey, funded by The White Squirrel Cares Foundation. The survey will be open to youth ages 12–29 who live in Huron or Perth County and will give young people an opportunity to share their experiences around mental health and substance use in our communities.
The information collected will help the Tanner Steffler Foundation and other local resources better understand the behaviours, attitudes, and patterns of young people in Huron and Perth Counties, while identifying ways we can continue improving support and services for youth in our communities. More information about the survey, including when it will open and how to participate, will be announced soon. Keep an eye on our social media and website for updates!
Huron East MHFA Training
Knowing how to support someone who’s struggling with their mental health can make a big difference. Sometimes, it’s hard to know what to say or how to help, and that’s where Mental Health First Aid Essentials comes in. This training gives you the tools to recognize when someone might be having a hard time, start conversations about mental health, and help connect them with support. It’s also an opportunity to learn more about mental health stigma and the importance of looking after your own well-being.
Thanks to the generous support of the Municipality of Huron East, we’re able to offer this training for FREE to anyone aged 18+ who lives or works within Huron East. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, coach, or simply someone who wants to better support the people around them, these skills can go a long way.
Join us on November 7th at the Seaforth Legion! Spots are limited, so register using this link or email events@tannerstefflerfoundation.com by November 2nd to save your spot. We hope to see you there!
Fueling The Conversation
We’ve partnered with Shopbike Coffee Roasters on a special edition coffee fundraiser to support youth mental health and substance use initiatives across Huron and Perth Counties.
We believe mental health and addiction resources should be just as easy to access as a cup of coffee. That’s why every bag includes mental health and addiction resources on the back, making it easier to find information about support for yourself or someone you care about.
For $20 a bag, you can choose from three blends while supporting a great local business and giving back to your community.
All funds raised go directly toward youth mental health and substance use initiatives in our communities. We’re grateful to Shopbike Coffee Roasters for partnering with us to make this fundraiser possible!
Keep an eye on our website and social media as we will be selling these bags at local events throughout November and December.
Place your pickup order using this link and choose your favourite blend!
