NotEvenOnce “Clearing the Air” Vaping Webinar
It's a very challenging world for our young people and for schools and parents. There is already so much pressure on many areas to stay abreast of the latest issues and trends. Nothing is more true than in the Alcohol & Other Drug (AOD) space. It changes constantly and the latest Vaping wave amongst our young people is a perfect example of confusing misinformation or in fact limited information.
NotEvenOnce Projects have been supporting Australian Schools since 2015 and to date have delivered to just over 117,200 students. Our program outcomes have been evaluated by Western Sydney University and shown to positively impact the Cognitive and Affective Domains (How young people think and act) in this space.
This webinar will provide an information and Q&A session with our CEO, Tanya Cavanagh. In addition to NotEvenOnce Projects, Tanya heads up Teen Challenge Tasmania and works in helping people in addiction to exit that lifestyle. She works with young people everyday in this area and is very passionate about prevention.
During this session she will address some of the Vaping myths and deceptive nature of the Vaping industry and leave you better equipped to discuss this with your children. We hope it will give you some insight into this area that we have only just glimpsed the swell of the tidal wave that is coming to our youth in Australia.
Here’s the Zoom Registration Link for the Webinar, secure you spot now (it is a free event)

About The Presenter
My name is Tanya Cavanagh, I'm married with 1 fur baby, I live in one of the most beautiful parts of Australia albeit chilly at the moment, Tasmania. I am CEO of Teen Challenge Tasmania. Teen Challenge is an international organisation that commenced in 1958 in NY by Rev David Wilkerson, in response to his exposure to the significant drug addiction to Heroine at the time of the city's teenage gangs. Today it has over 1400 residential rehab centres around the world for people from teens to adults with life controlling addictions. Teen Challenge was established in Aust in QLD in 1981 and has residential programs in each state excluding NT, ACT & TAS.
Tanya has worked a large portion of her life in the Automotive Industry from working on cars to sales to the corporate world of running Dealerships. Her eyes were opened to the plight of many young people in her community when she helped a school conduct mock interviews. The stories the young people shared to her interview question "What is something you have achieved you never thought you could achieve?" took her by surprise as they shared mental health, sexual/physical abuse, generational drug abuse and poverty within their own lives. Their stories ignited in her a passion to do something to help today's youth and she now says "I have finally found what I want to do with my life and now love waking up and going to work every day" She and her husband Peter, founded Teen Challenge Tasmania in 2014 and work solidly in the prevention space, to turn young people away from the pathways that can lead to a life destroying pathway of drug use to mask or deal with life's challenges
