Youth va**ng is more common than many realize — and knowing how to respond matters. This focused 25-minute micro session from the Quash program, powered by The Lung Health Foundation, gives you the practical tools to start real, judgement-free conversations with the teens in your life.
In this condensed session, you'll get up to speed on today's youth va**ng landscape and the health risks involved, then spend the majority of our time on what you're really here for: how to actually talk about it. You'll leave with:
- A clear understanding of the key elements of a supportive conversation
- Hands-on familiarity with the Brief Conversations Toolkit
- The confidence to approach a teen without judgement — and without shutting them down
Whether you're a parent, educator, coach, or youth worker, this session meets you where you are and gets you ready to show up for the young people you care about. Presented by The Quash Program, powered by The Lung Health Foundation.
