Parents and caregivers play a vital role in preventing youth substance use!
Calling Lamoille Valley Parents/caregivers, PTO/PTA members, youth sports coaches, and anyone interested in how they can support parents and caregivers in the community! Join us at Healthy Lamoille Valley’s monthly Coalition Meeting on December 16th where we will brainstorm ways to involve and support parents and caregivers more actively in prevention, and explore two outreach topics: safe substance storage and having meaningful conversations with our kids and teens.
Please RSVP to Coalition Coordinator Jessica Bickford at jessica@healthylamoillevalley.org with your name and number and age of children you are bringing. We will be meeting at the Morrisville Department of Health building from 3:00 – 4:30PM, arrive when you can. Children and youth are welcome – we will have snacks and coloring activities. Each parent/caregiver attending will receive a gift card and game to take home. Contact us if you can’t attend but you still want to get involved in this topic!
At our November meeting we shared some key data points from our community surveys. Check out these slides for some helpful background information for the December meeting!
