Vaping Companies & Big Tobacco Want to Hook Our Kids.
WE WANT TO STOP THEM.
The New Vista Regional Prevention Center offers the PAVe Parent Training to parents, caretakers, teachers, and other adult stakeholders. It covers health harms, causes of the youth vaping crisis and reasons teens vape, signs and devices to recognize, as well as tips, resources, and support to help children avoid or quit using tobacco products. The youth vaping epidemic is urgent and evolving. PAVe is the parent voice on this issue. There is a huge information gap to bridge among parents, educators, and other adults to better prepare them to support kids to avoid or quit vaping.
We are committed to empowering parents, caretakers, teachers, and other adult stakeholders with the knowledge and tools needed to combat youth vaping. Our PAVe Parent Training program offers comprehensive education on the health harms, causes, and signs of the youth vaping crisis, along with practical tips and resources to help children avoid or quit using tobacco products.
What is PAVe Parent Training?

Participants learn about the specific dangers posed by e-cigarettes and how they differ from traditional tobacco products.
