Description: This is a multi-session conference. Below are the descriptions for each session being offered.
Smoke & Mirrors: Vaping, Identity, and What Teens Are Really Losing: In today’s social landscape, vaping is more than just a habit, it’s a signal. Smoke & Mirrors is a powerful, research-informed workshop that peels back the layers behind teen vaping to uncover deeper struggles with identity, unprocessed grief, and emotional displacement. This program explores how adolescents often turn to vaping not just for social acceptance or curiosity, but to cope with invisible wounds like loss, family instability, and internalized pressure. Strategies for assessment, advocacy, and treatment will be explored.
