Tobacco Use Prevention Education Program (TUPE)
|
Purpose/Objectives
The purpose of the TUPE program is to reduce youth tobacco use by helping young people make healthful tobacco-related decisions through tobacco-specific research-validated educational instruction and activities that build knowledge as well as social skills and youth development assets. Collaboration with community-based tobacco control programs is an integral part of program planning. Within the Geyserville Unified School District, school staff, parents, students, and the larger community are involved in the program, so that students are aware of our cohesive effort and concern for their health and, consequently, their ability to succeed in school and life. |
Principles of Effectiveness as Applied to Tobacco-Use
Having tobacco-free schools is one of our nation's highest priorities. As a recipient of TUPE funds, our District must use those funds in ways that are most likely to reduce tobacco use among youth. With that in mind, we coordinate our TUPE-funded programs with other available prevention efforts to maximize the impact of all the tobacco prevention programs and resources available. |
Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE)
Youth in Sonoma County have decreased tobacco use thanks to the combined efforts of schools, families, and the community. Sonoma County Office of Education provides support services to school districts receiving TUPE funds from the state and collaborates with the Coalition for a Tobacco Free Sonoma County to extend these efforts to the community.
