The Planet Youth Model is all about: 

• Changing the social environment, not just the individual behaviour. 

• Building protective factors across schools, families, peer groups, and leisure time. 

• Engaging young people directly, amplifying their voices and lived experience. 

• Grounding all actions in detailed, local, and regularly collected data. At its heart, Planet youth focuses on tackling root causes, building strong networks, and supporting young people to feel safe, connected and empowered. 

• It's not just a programme - it's a new way of thinking, acting and investing in healthier futures. 

• Change takes time, commitment and dedication. We currently have six regional partners (Angus, Argyll & Bute, Clackmannishire, Dundee, Highlands and West Dunbartonshire) who have dedicated themselves to being a part of the change that aims to transform Scotland to enable new opportunities for young people, and make the wider community feel happier and more content. ​
