“The Trussville City Schools Family Resource Center believes encouraging open discussion and education are important tools to promote healthy families and healthy children,” said Dr. Rachel R. Poovey, TCS Assistant Superintendent of Student Services. “This vaping informational session will provide students, families, and community members insight into the signs and dangers of vaping and begin to open the doors of conversation to educate, support and protect our students.”
UAB Associate Director of Family and Adolescent Services Stephanie Galbreath will facilitate tihs discussion, which will be held in the Hewitt-Trussville High School Lecture Hall, located at 6450 Husky Pkwy, beginning at 6 p.m.
“This will be the first community information session to come from our TCS Family Resource Center and we are excited to begin this new venture,” Poovey said. “There will be two more sessions this year – one on social media and our students, and one with the TPD – we are still working on these details. We will also offer an opportunity for families to request sessions they would like to hear as we plan for the coming school year.”
