Thank you to all the parents/guardians and students who were able to make time on the busy week to join us for our Wellness Night presentation partnering with the Parent Association Meeting last Tuesday. Dr. Dave Barlas, emergency medicine physician, Chief of Service at NYU Langone, Cobble Hill ER site, and Stuyvesant HS alumnus ’85 provided a talk on Juuling and Vaping. If we are able to provide the slides from this presentation, we will post them on Talos. Until then, the handout from the presentation with resources for parents is available on Talos HERE.
Dr. Barlas’ team will also speak to Freshman Health Classes on April 9th about the dangers of vaping and Juul.
Many thanks to Social Worker, Jessica Chock-Goldman as well as the PA Health & Safety Committee, and SPARK Counselor, Mr. Angel Colon and to Veronika Kowalski, who presented the student view based on her research and articles written in The Stuyvesant Spectator about vaping and Juuling. Below are links to the three different articles:
