PARENTS

Your child’s brain is still developing until the age of 25, which makes teens vulnerable to the harmful effects of nicotine or marijuana use in any form. 
The Live Vape Free program is focused on supporting parents and other adults concerned about vaping. This online learning program prepares adults for conversations with teens about vaping and includes a toolkit that supports conversation with teens. Program coaches provide personalized support through live chatting and emailing.
