Bendigo Community Health Services free Tough Talks webinar on July 24 will focus on vaping and how to support young people to stop.

It will feature YSAS nurse practitioner, mental health and addiction specialist Lee Kennedy, secondary school nurse Andrea Scott and BCHS Health Promotion Officers.

Senior Health Promotion Officer Siobhan Sullivan said there had been a significant increase in young people vaping in Bendigo, and many parents were worried and wanted to know how their young people could get support to stop.

“We want to inform our local community, especially parents and caregivers, about the harms of vapes to young people and about the local services young people could access for support to stop vaping,” Siobhan said.
