Parent Speaker Series

A joint collaboration between CTC and Downingtown Area School District, Parent Speaker Series events feature speakers and presentations that support student health and wellness.

October 2025: Vaping Prevention Resources and Education for Parents by Selena Morresi, Caron Educational Alliance

In our first Parent Speaker Series event of the 2025-26 school year, in partnership with Downingtown Area School District, Selena Morresi from Caron Educational Alliance explores vaping among youth. She shares an updated look at the vaping landscape including nicotine pouches and explains the four main reasons teens vape: curiosity, stress, boredom and peer pressure.

Using science and practical strategies, Selena connects each reason back to adolescent brain development and provides resources parents/guardians can use to guide conversations and support their teens.
