Project Pulse

Youth Opioid Prevention, Mental Health & Resilience Initiative

Building Resilience. Preventing Crisis. Supporting Youth.

Project Pulse is a Wheatland Township initiative focused on helping young people build resilience, strengthen social and emotional skills, increase awareness of opioid and fentanyl risks, and connect with supportive resources before challenges become crises.

Through prevention education, youth leadership development, family engagement, and community partnerships, Project Pulse seeks to create healthier outcomes for young people and families throughout our community.

As we prepare for implementation, we invite residents, students, families, and community stakeholders to help shape the future of this initiative.
