Tobacco-Use Prevention Education
The Tobacco-Use Prevention Education (TUPE) program is designed to reduce youth tobacco use by empowering students in grades 6-12 to make healthful decisions through tobacco-prevention instruction, intervention, cessation programs, and reinforcement activities.
Tier II Consortium
The SBCSS TUPE Tier II Consortium is a partnership of ten school districts serving 42 middle and high schools throughout San Bernardino County. This program meets the grant requirements of implementing a comprehensive approach to preventing or reducing student tobacco-use, cannabis-use, and vaping.
Key components of the program include: youth leadership/peer education, tobacco, vaping, and cannabis prevention curriculum, alternatives to suspension, family and community engagement, and cessation supports through Kick It California and local programs.
