The Postsecondary Education Partnership - Alcohol Harms is a group of Canadian universities partnered with the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) and Universities Canada.

PEP-AH’s evidence-based framework outlines a range of activities that, when undertaken simultaneously and continuously, work towards one goal: to reduce alcohol harms on campus.
