West River Valley Thrives was featured on the front page of the award-winning community newspaper, The Commons, on October 17. Rolf Parker-Houghton and Oliva Moore, staff and student coop intern, provide insightful and thoughtful information and facts on the marketing tactics the industry is using to target our youth, and the hazards associated with e-cigarette use, primarily nicotine addiction.
WRVT would like to encourage you to talk to your teens early and often about the risks of e-cigarette use and other substances such as alcohol, marijuana, Rx drugs, cocaine, and other harmful substances. Please contact us by phone or email with any questions, comments, or suggestions. Consider volunteering with us. We are currently seeking to develop a concerned parents’ group with the goal of providing support, discussing these issues, and organizing creative approaches to support our youth and build healthy communities.
