Battle Ground Public Schools and Prevent Together Coalition are hosting a parents-only event to provide information and awareness about youth vaping and substance use.
“Vape 101: What Every Parent Should Know,” will be held starting at 6 p.m. Thursday at Tukes Valley Middle School, 20601 N.E. 167th Ave., Battle Ground. The event includes an interactive exhibit, an expert presentation about vaping and a panel discussion with an audience Q&A session, according to an event press release.
Parents and adults will be able to walk through a mock adolescent bedroom to attempt to spot the signs of vaping and other substance use. That “Hidden in Plain Sight” exhibit is open for 30 minutes before the presentation begins, and again at the conclusion of the presentation and Q&A session.
Dr. Rita Williams, a Pulmonologist from PeaceHealth, and Frank Manza, fire captain with Vancouver Fire Department, will give the keynote presentation from 6:30 to 7:10 p.m.
