Empowering teens to rise above vaping: proven prevention through LifeSkills training

Youth vaping, smoking, and the use of other products containing nicotine continue to pose new challenges for prevention educators. In this engaging and informative session, we will explore the role of critical life skills proven to reduce the abuse of these products.

Participants will gain insights into current trends in youth vaping and emerging nicotine products, along with practical strategies and life skills through the Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST) programs. We will demonstrate how this highly effective program helps schools and communities prevent vaping, smoking, and other substance abuse/misuse among today’s youth.

We will highlight critical life skills and demonstrate how LST programs reduce youth vaping, smoking, and other health-risk behaviors. In addition to current trends among middle and high school students, we will explore how elementary students benefit from the skills taught in LST.
