ANTI-TOBACCO AND
ANTI-VAPING CAMPAIGN
 |
|
The National PTA, and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids are committed to educating youth, parents, school boards and local officials about the dangers of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products. Your PTSA is running its own campaign at Chantilly High School! |
*At our next general meeting on February 15th at 6:30 p.m. in the school library, we will host a guest speaker on the topic of tobacco use and vaping among our youth. Stacey King is a licensed clinical social worker and the substance abuse prevention specialist for the Chantilly Pyramid.
You must be 18 or older to attend. Ms. King will discuss the harms of tobacco use and vaping and will provide information about the latest trends in tobacco/vape use in our community. She will also talk about ways parents can initiate productive conversations with their children. There will be time for a question-and-answer session, and literature will be available in both English and Spanish. Light refreshments and student-provided childcare will be provided.
To register for this free event, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/pJ6cb7u1LW4Pj9TD6

FREE WEBINARS IN FEBRUARY
Mindspring Mental Health Alliance is hosting the following free Webinars during the first half of February:
Understanding High-Functioning Depression | February 7th, 1 - 2 p.m.
The official diagnosis for high-functioning depression is persistent depressive disorder or PDD. The symptoms are similar to major depression but less severe, and many people with PDD can maintain a relatively normal level of functioning. However persistent fatigue, low self-esteem, poor concentration, and feeling hopeless puts people at higher-than-average risk for suicide and self-harm, and symptoms can continue indefinitely without treatment. Discuss the signs and symptoms, what causes it, and who is at risk in this seminar with a licensed therapist. Learn how PDD is treated, how lifestyle changes can help, and how to support loved ones with PDD.

The complicated nature of mental illnesses can make relationships challenging. Learn strategies to set boundaries, respond to difficult behavior, and manage your stress in this one-hour webinar with a licensed therapist.
