The Next Steps

An interactive, youth-friendly workshop to take back McCreary data to young people, and engage them in conversations about the health and well-being issues affecting youth in BC.
JUMP TO:
 
Since the Next Steps workshop model was created in 1998, McCreary has taken research findings back to thousands of youth in communities across BC.

The current Next Steps workshop shares data from McCreary's BC Adolescent Health Survey. Adaptations of the Next Steps workshop have also engaged Indigenous youth in findings from our Raven's Children reports, and young people in BC's custody centres with results from the Youth in Custody Survey.
