Substance Abuse Program for African Canadian and Caribbean Youth (SAPACCY)

Best practice guidelines for directing interventions for children and youth

SAPACCY is an empowering and capacity-building program aimed at providing services to a diverse clientele of black youth aged 13 to 24 in Toronto, Canada. It does so by adopting a strength-based approach that enables young people to discover their talents, and through intervention to successfully transition from drug-related behaviours to pursuing education or attending work-training programs. The program has collaborated with many community agencies and also engages in youth advocacy by raising awareness about violence and drugs. Some examples of collaborations include work with Toronto Police Services (Empowering Student Partnership Program) and the City of Toronto Working Group on Youth Gangs.
