Greetings families of Charlton Public School.
Acknowledging the growing issue of vaping in our schools and the health risks associated with e-cigarettes and vaping, the YRDSB has developed the Substance Misuse Webinar: Vaping in collaboration with York Region Public Health. By the end of this webinar, you’ll have learned valuable information about:
- e-cigarettes, also known as vapes
- e-juice and what it is made of
- the safety concerns associated with vaping
- how to discuss this substance with children.
We invite you to watch this webinar on our YRDSB YouTube Channel. Please keep in mind that this webinar is not intended for use with students.
Due to the sensitive nature of these topics, if you or someone you know requires assistance, please remember that the following supports are available:
- York Support Services Network (1-855-310-COPE)
- Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868)
This is an addition to the Substance Misuse Webinar Series, created by YRDSB with our community partners. In this series, you can learn about:
- York Region Public Health: Alcohol and Cannabis, 6 Tips for Families/Staff
- Addictions Services of York Region: Opioids and Prescription Drugs, YRDSB Drug and Alcohol Continuum
- YouthSpeak: Lived Experience of Former Substance Misusers and Impacted Family Members
- York Regional Police: Reporting Issues of Substance Misuse and the Criminal Impact of Substance Misuse, including Post-Legalization of Cannabis
For more details on what you can do to prevent student substance misuse, please visit the YRDSB’s Caring and Safe Schools website and Vaping and E-Cigarettes subpage for resources to continue the conversation.
We hope that you have a wonderful week and thank you for supporting our safe, positive and inclusive school community.
