By dispelling misinformation around the harms of tobacco, community leaders can educate and provide valuable resources to those starting their quit journeys.
TimeWise Coalition Meeting Recap and What You Can do Next
Thank you to everyone who joined our March Coalition Meeting. We were inspired by the level of participation! Together we explored how TimeWise can support youth, families, schools, and community partners in building healthier, more intentional relationships with time, technology, and leisure. People shared thoughtful reflections and practical ideas for using TimeWise in classrooms, youth programs, counseling sessions and everyday life, and many left ready to bring the tools back to their own settings.
Healthy Lamoille Valley April Coalition Meeting
This month, our conversation will focus on summer youth opportunities and safe celebrations around after prom and graduation. As we look ahead to the coming months, we know that summer can bring both opportunity and challenge for youth and families. While summer can be a time for fun, connection, and rest, it can also be a time when some youth experience boredom, disconnection, or limited access to activities and support.
