COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Following a series of anti-vaping presentations for students at Coldwater High School and Legg Middle School, the conversation is now being extended to parents.
The parent night for vape education will be Thursday at 6:00 p.m. in the Coldwater High School Cafeteria, in collaboration with the Branch County Substance Abuse Task Force, Branch Hillsdale St. Joseph Community Health Agency, and Southwest Michigan Behavioral Health.
The event is designed for parents of students in grades 6 through 12 to provide information about vaping, its health risks, and how families can take proactive steps to prevent and address vaping use.
According to Josh Englehart of the Branch Hillsdale St. Joseph Community Health Agency, who led the student presentations, parents will learn about the dangers of vaping, how to recognize warning signs, and strategies for discussing vaping with their children.
His presentation will also focus on the effects of vaping on youth, the cycle of nicotine addiction, and how parents can approach conversations about vaping at home.
“We want to make sure our students understand how dangerous vaping can be,” said Dr. Steven Hope, principal of Coldwater High School. “Now, we are inviting parents to be part of this important discussion so they can support their children in making healthier choices.”
