Brynn and Hayden have a SAY to help youth find substance use help

February 22, 2024
Brynn and Hayden (not their real names) shared their lived experiences with substances and lent their voices to the SAY project.

Brynn and Hayden are youth in the Interior who have lived experience with substance use. They teamed up with Interior Heath to promote new services for their youth peers.

The SAY project was launched in 2023 to promote the new substance use services Interior Health created specifically for youth across the region. Hayden and Brynn (not their real names) helped create the campaign to spread the word about these services.
