09 January, 2022

Description

Student board members of STAND teams from area high schools discuss the rise of vaping, its effects, and advocacy in the local community. STAND students from all over the region have seen the effects of the vaping epidemic. Join us for a conversation about the rise of e-cigarettes and vaping, its effects on young people, and the positive things that STAND leaders are doing to encourage peers to make healthy decisions. Student panelists will be responding to questions about the past, present, and future of vaping, as well as speaking about the impacts of vaping on their generation. Through STAND, youth are given opportunities and skills to reduce substance use, promote positive mental health, and take leadership to create significant change in their school and community. Student leaders involved with STAND know that they are valuable contributors to social change and are empowered to lean into their strengths to impact the world around them. There are currently over 130 STAND students in 6 different communities that are working on creating a healthier, more positive future for their peers.
