June 27, 2019 –

The 2019 SAYCW Thriving Youth, Thriving Communities (TYTC) Survey Provincial Poster is now available!

The the Saskatchewan Alliance for Youth and Community Well-being (SAYCW) Thriving Youth, Thriving Communities (TYTC) Survey was conducted this year with youth in Grades 7 – 12. The survey asked a series of questions that included areas such as nutrition and food security, physical activity, sleep, mental health and well-being, tobacco use, drug and alcohol use, and sexual health. The Provincial Poster reflects the responses of over 10,400 students in Grades 7 – 12 from 162 schools across 19 school divisions and authorities throughout the province. This included rural, urban and on-reserve schools. It is meant to provide a snapshot of Saskatchewan students’ health and well-being.

The poster is available here and we encourage you to share it with your networks.

SAYCW Report - COVID-19 Connections

This report provides a brief review of the scientific literature on COVID-19 and its effects on youth health, with particular emphasis on mental health.  SAYCW shares relevant data from the pre-pandemic, 2019 SAYCW survey – these findings show how stressors and unhealthy behaviours that have been worsened by the pandemic (e.g., worry, connection with others, screen time, etc.) had impacted Saskatchewan youths’ health and well-being prior to the pandemic. Suggested health promotion actions to help mitigate the effects of COVID-19 and improve youth health and well-being are also shared.
