ABOUT THE LEARNING SESSION:

In recognition of National Prevention Week, the New England PTTC is hosting a panel of speakers to foster conversations about vaping prevention. The webinar will center around our newest resource, In the Air, a novel in the style of graphic medicine to foster conversations with young people around vaping, choices around substance misuse, and risk and protective factors. Learn how you can use it in your work and learn how to get your copy.

Join the Graphic Medicine creative team to learn about the writing and creation of the product, how the story came to be, the research behind the graphics, and the youth voices that were centered in shaping of the story. Joining the discussion panel are the author, illustrator, editor/content expert, and student advocate.
