Advocacy Leadership Plan by https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws ALP for COUN 6311S en-us 2022-04-10 20:00:01 UTC 2022-04-20 21:40:05 UTC hello@padlet.com Advocacy Issue acaciamartin1 https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws/wish/2138264819 The focus in my advocacy leadership plan is vaping at the high school level, grades 9-12. Vaping has become a big focus in the education system, within the last few years. A recent study by the Indiana Health Department indicated that students in middle and high school are smoking less, but nicotine addiction is still incredibly high (Bennett II, 2022). Roughly 13.1% of middle and high school students in the U.S. reported using e-cigarettes, in the last 30 days (Bennett II, 2022). Vaping effects of the ASCA behavior standards, including B-SMS 2 (self-control/self-discipline) and B-SMS 7 (effective coping skills) (American School Counseling Association, 2019). Nicotine addiction, nicotine withdrawals symptoms, future drug use, and depression have all been found to correlate with the use of nicotine (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022). ]]> 2022-04-10 21:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws/wish/2138264819 The Program acaciamartin1 https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws/wish/2138265461 According to the executive director of Drug Free Howard County Council for Substance abuse Prevention, one of the best tools against nicotine use is education (Bennett II, 2022). 
My Stop the Vape program will involve several educational interventions to help students either never start to vape or to stop if they currently are.

At this level, I would go to each classroom and present a lesson over the many effects that vaping can have on physical and mental health, finances, and other aspects of their lives. ]]> 2022-04-10 21:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws/wish/2138266471 Program: Step 2. acaciamartin1 https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws/wish/2138268294 Small group interventions can be utilized to address specific needs of students (American School Counseling Association, 2019).  I would analyze discipline/referral data to identify students that administration know are currently vaping, or have vaped in the past. I would put these students in small groups for further interventions. Among topics discussed would be why they started vaping, why they use it or what emotions do they feel before/after, and alternative coping skills to utilize instead. Activities, worksheets, and media would be utilized in these small groups. ]]> 2022-04-10 21:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws/wish/2138268294 Vaping: Know the Truth acaciamartin1 https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws/wish/2138270438 This video would be known during the classroom lesson and a discussion would follow. ]]> 2022-04-10 21:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws/wish/2138270438 Vape ≠ Vapor acaciamartin1 https://padlet.com/acaciamartin1/96r4jzh0o9rctcws/wish/2138272647 Developed by Hopkins One Voice Coalition.
