TUPE (Tobacco Use Prevention Education)
As the TUPE (Tobacco Use Prevention Education) Consultant for the Mendocino County Office of Education, I am available to provide Prevention focused presentations to districts within Mendocino County. These presentations are free to the districts and are adapted from Stanford’s “You and Me Vape Free” Curriculum. In addition to sharing information about tobacco and vaping, I emphasize overall addiction prevention by educating young people on brain development, the dopamine system, and healthy coping tools.
I have two presentations, one for students in 4th and 5th grade, and another for 6th grade and up. These presentations are best delivered in a classroom setting (not assembly style) and are about 45-60 minutes. I do ask that teachers help facilitate an anonymous, quick and simple google-form based pre and post survey with their students before and after my presentation so I can collect data on the impact of the presentation.

If you are from a school site outside of Mendocino County, I am still available for private contract work on various topics including: Tobacco/Vaping Education, Addiction Prevention, Building Resilience, Stress Management and Mindfulness and more! As a Credentialed School Counselor turned Public Speaker, I am uniquely aware of how to engage students while managing the dynamics of a classroom and providing relevant content. Please email me with inquiries.
