ResourceDevelop a platform to raise awareness and educate people about behavioral addictions, in the form of a website developed “with” and “for” young people. This platform will aim to present content that is appropriate in terms of both substance and form for young people aged 15 to 29: informative, engaging, and accessible. In order to reach as many young people as possible, all content will be shared on social media (Instagram, TikTok, etc.).
Examples of content for and by young people:
This project, which stems from a need identified by young people in our interactions with them and which is also raised in the 2023 public consultation report for youth (Government of Quebec, 2024), will involve young people aged 15 to 29 at all stages of the project.
The consequences associated with behavioral addictions are considerable (social isolation, dropping out of school, psychological distress, suicide, etc.), and young people aged 15 to 29 are at risk of developing behavioral addictions. Awareness-raising, with targeted and adapted content developed “with” and “for” young people, can contribute to the prevention and reduction of the harms associated with behavioral addictions and help maintain balanced mental health.
