Talking about vaping can be a difficult conversation to have. Durham Middlefield data suggests 9% of RSD#13 students are vaping. Talking early and often is critical. We've created two discussion guides- one for parents and the other for peers- to help you start the conversation about the dangers of vaping.

Parent Discussion Guide- Talking with kids about substance use is critical, it helps prevent problems before they arise and address any problems that pop up. If you find these conversations difficult to have, you’re not alone. You have to know more than just the facts. You also have to know what to say, when to say it, and how to approach the discussion with the right mindset. |
