Parents of Tweens & Teens

Prevent Risky Behavior – vaping and other substance use & abuse

Seattle Public Schools’ Lisa Davidson, Prevention and Intervention Manager, and Nathalie Meus, Healthy Schools Coordinator, will review:

– Salmon Bay’s Healthy Youth Survey results (conducted last year) regarding student behaviors and attitudes toward vaping and drugs

– Key strategies for preventing risky behavior

– How to have tough conversations

– Products and trends – vaping, over the counter drugs, and much more

Questions and open discussion afterwards. Principal Dixon and middle school counselor Rob Bright plan on attending to help provide context and insight.

Families with elementary students, this event is also for you! Drug prevention starts with parents learning how to talk with their children about difficult topics. Most likely, children in elementary school have not begun to use alcohol, tobacco, or any other kind of drug. It’s better to talk before children are exposed, which is exactly why elementary school is a good time to start talking about the dangers of drug use so you can prepare your child for a time when drugs may be offered. Join us!

This informative evening is for Salmon Bay parents and caregivers – ADULTS ONLY. Free childcare is available for potty independent kids. Event and childcare RSVP is very helpful – walk in childcare available as space allows. Pizza dinner will be served to kiddos! We look forward to seeing you there!
