to lack of evidence base. Recommend focusing on policy. ~Drug Take Back on April 27 was very positive with more than 230 lbs collected in partnership with sheriff and police, and many good
community connections and conversations. ~Coalition coordinators Denise and Lindsay attended 2 trainings. Discussion re: vulnerability of LGBTQ population locally and nationwide.
Denise and Lindsay highly recommend the work of Dr. Leticia Neito of Saint Martin’s University. ~ Discussion re: bringing vaping education day to Quilcene School and Blue Heron Middle School. Health-fair format at Chimacum School worked well, with multiple ways for youth to engage the information. ~Social Norms Campaign began with “Prom Promise” incentive led by the student Prevention Club. Continues with postcard mailings to students in grades 6-12 and parents of students in grades K-12. Prevention club will lead campus activities with messaging t-shirts and other prizes.
