Throughout the year, useful documents and web links come our way that we like to share out with parents to support them on topics pertaining to youth. We hope you find them useful.
The Ministry of Health’s new anti-vaping campaign is now available and includes resources and videos (A for Addiction, F for Formaldehyde, and P for Popcorn Lung) that focus on the dangers of vaping. These resources cover topics such as ingredients in vaping products, youth supports to quit or cut back and health info for youth.
- Erase Report It tool
The tool is an easy way for students to send a message to the school or school district’s Safe School Coordinator.
