Amplifying Voices: Community‑Driven Prevention Across Calgary
In April 2026, Planet Youth Calgary was proud to be featured on Red FM, Nepali Radio Calgary, sharing the vision, impact, and momentum behind community‑driven youth prevention in our city.
Our colleagues spoke to the power of early prevention, cultural connection, and strong local partnerships in supporting healthier outcomes for young people and families across Calgary. The conversation highlighted how collective action—rooted in community voices and data‑informed practice—is helping build environments where youth can thrive.
We extend our sincere thanks to our team members who represented us:
- Shelina Bata, Planet Youth Manager, Trellis Society – Saddle Ridge
- Surafiel Kibreab, Planet Youth Manager, Trellis Society – Greater Forest Lawn
- Beth Ed, Manager, Community & Family Systems, United Way of Calgary and Area
Their reflections underscored the importance of collaboration, trust, and shared responsibility in creating lasting change.
