  2. Alexander Lowell, Youth REX, York University, will discuss strategies for integrating evidence into practice, barriers and how to address them.
  3. Maria Papadimitriou, Delisle Youth Services, will provide a Toronto-based example of an evidence based/informed prevention program, including how the program was developed.
