VAPING RESOURCES
It’s important to talk with your kids about substance use from a young age and explore the potential risks that it can create for them. For example, interfering with their functioning at home or in school, in their interpersonal relationships, motivation in school and activities and future goals. One concern that we have with teens is the use of E-cigarettes or Vaping Devices. These devices contain Nicotine, a highly addictive drug. Below are some helpful links on this topic. For further information, please reach out to Drug and Alcohol Counselor Kiah Bowerman 339-1525.
