Inhalants: Nothing to Sniff At

Connecticut Inhalant Task Force is proud to present a FREE training opportunity--Inhalants: Nothing to Sniff At. Sign in from 8:30 to 9am. The program begins promptly at 9.

Inhalants can kill without warning the very first time they are used! For too many adults, inhalants are just not on the radar, despite the fact that an increasing number of middle-school-age and grammar-school-age youth are experimenting with these ordinary household products. Inhalant abuse continues to be a matter of concern in Connecticut. Huffing, sniffing, glading, inhaling--it’s all dangerous, common and potentially deadly.

Participants will learn:
Inhalants 101--Who, What, Where and Why
Assessement and Referral Overview for Treatment
Special Considerations Needed for Prevention Education
Resources and Tools

In addition, members of the Connecticut Inhalant Task Force will discuss the task force’s current efforts in the state and outline its current technical assistance programs available to schools and communities

Who should attend:
School Administrators, Youth-Serving Professionals, Health Educators, Prevention Specialists, Law Enforcement Officers, Juvenile Justice Professionals, Counselors, School Nurses, School Purchasing Agents,Youth Sports Program Directors and Coaches, Faith-Based Leaders, Parents

**Bonus Session: noon – 1:30 p.m.**
