Young people and stopping vaping training materials
COMING SOON! We have developed materials for a short (1-2 hours) training session aimed at staff who already work with young people (e.g. school nurses, teachers, youth workers, staff in children’s services).

The course will enable participants to have constructive conversations about stopping vaping and to offer support to young people who want to stop vaping. The training materials include:

• Course outline
• PowerPoint presentation
• Trainer manual
• Changing perspectives worksheet
• Young person profiles
