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!
International Overdose Awareness Day
Every year on August 31, we recognize International Overdose Awareness Day as a time to remember the lives lost to overdose, stand alongside the families and friends who continue to grieve, and work toward ending the stigma surrounding substance use. We believe that every conversation, every act of compassion, and every opportunity to learn can make a difference. This day reminds us that behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a community, and that no one should have to face these challenges alone.
There are many ways you can show your support. Take time to learn about overdose prevention and harm reduction, carry naloxone (availible at most pharmacies, free of charge), and have open and judgment-free conversations about substance use and mental health. Together, we can honour those we've lost, support those who are struggling, and continue building a future where everyone has access to the care, education, and support they deserve.
Driving The Stigma Out Success!
On July 25, TSF welcomed more than 115 community members to the 6th Annual Driving the Stigma Out Charity Golf Tournament at White Squirrel Golf Club. Thanks to beautiful weather, great golf, incredible community spirit, and the generosity of everyone involved, the event was a huge success in support of youth mental health and addiction awareness.
Together, through the golf tournament and silent auction, we raised an incredible $35,000+. This achievement would not have been possible without our amazing sponsors, golfers, silent auction donors, and TSF volunteers.
The funds raised will directly support mental health and substance use education and awareness initiatives across Huron and Perth Counties, helping ensure youth and families have greater access to knowledge, resources, and support when they need it most.
To everyone who sponsored, donated, volunteered, golfed, bid, or cheered us on, thank you. Your generosity and commitment to our mission are helping us continue to drive the stigma out of youth mental health and addiction. We are incredibly grateful for your support and can't wait to see you again next year!
