SCIP in Lincoln have had an influx of requests for information on Juuling and Vaping. Below is a link to a handout they created that has some educational information as well as links to some informative PSA’s and videos. The 9 minute video by PBS is really good along with the Juul PSA produced by teens.
Did you know that National School Counselor Week is Feb 5-9?!
“School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic concerns, career awareness in post-secondary options and social/emotional skills. Comprehensive school counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.” – Kwok-Sze Wong, Ed.D., American School Counselor Association executive director.
