Young people are growing up in a world in which they are very likely to encounter and experiment with vaping along with use of other substances. They need to know the facts about what they might encounter\, what the dangers are\, what the myths are and how to access advice and support for their vaping use. This seminar is designed to improve the knowledge of those who are teaching\, and supporting\, young people to navigate through these issues. Attendees will receive a full update on current facts and figures surrounding vaping concerns along with information on current Government strategies to combat the sale and promotion of these devices\, in particular to teenagers. Options and advice to offer students and their parents with concerns around vape addiction will be provided so attendees can share these more broadly across their school\, as well as options on how to deter the current epidemic use of vapes\, even on site. \nTraining topics will include \n\nRecent trends in vape use by children and young people\nThe facts and myths associated with vaping\nAddictive properties and health implications of vaping\nRisk of injury in relation to ‘counterfeit’ vapes\nHow can workers and volunteers speak to parents and children about vaping\nSources of support and advice on vaping\n\nLearning outcomes \n\nStrengthen knowledge and understanding of the trends of vape use by children and young people including current health issues surrounding vaping\, and in particular disposable vapes (puff bars)\nIncrease confidence and competence in speaking to parents and children about the facts\, myths and effects of vaping\nTo be able to answer questions confidently when asked about vaping\, its effects and harm reduction strategies\nIncrease awareness of sources of support\, advice and signposting to be able to offer appropriate support to a young person and their parents who are encountering difficulties due to vaping.\n\nBOOK NOW \n\nSpeaker:  \nDave Parvin \nA former Drug Squad Officer- Dave has seen the damage and destruction first hand that  ‘drugs’ can bring to those who choose to have a life that involves the use of these substances and as such is passionate about raising the awareness of the ‘potential risks and dangers’ associated with this life style. Since leaving the police Dave over the last 17 years has delivered hundreds of Drug Awareness Sessions to Schools and Colleges all over the country engaging with all parties (Students/Staff and Parental Sessions) to ensure his key message about raising the awareness of the real risks and dangers associated with many substances young people in particular are likely to come into contact with. He does not preach and delivers his presentations in a ‘non judgemental manner’ in his own ‘unique style’\, ensuring that his audiences engage with him from the very minute he starts to speak. He also has strong links with NAMSS (National Association for Managers of Student Services) and for the BSA (Boarding School Association) delivering bespoke Drug Awareness Training events for their staff (including work overseas with international schools).
