RMC Health had the opportunity to contribute to Education Dive’s recent article Vaping’s rise necessitates rethinking of nicotine education. The article highlights the need to implement prevention and education approaches that are non-punitive, support cessation, and increase protective factors for young people.
RMC Health can support your school and community based organization to address youth vaping and use of electronic nicotine devices utilizing these approaches. RMC offers skills based workshops for a variety of audiences, including local public health, school leaders, community organizations, parents, guardians, community members and other trusted adults to build capacity to confidently focus on education and prevention efforts, provide support for youth using electronic nicotine products, and to foster protective factors for youth to resist nicotine and other substance use.
