 View: What's In the Deck

Vaping & Smoking (and other substance use) is on the rise globally. Learning the basics of "what it is" and "what it looks like in behavior" is fundamental to mental health and wellness. This card deck (and companion Facilitator Guide) will help you understand the basics of vaping and smoking, common substances used, methods of use, risk & protective factors, problems resulting from harmful use, and eleven (11) criteria for evaluating one's substance use. Increasing one's knowledge helps to prevent and protect individuals, families, friends, and our broader communities against the risks of vaping & smoking.

Discovery Cards are simple, practical, impactful, and increase engagement. Using behavior-based and color-categorized cards, individuals will discover what people, places, things, situations or emotions trigger them toward substance use and relapse. The Facilitator Guide provides group leaders with everything needed to run structured, action-oriented sessions, including activity worksheets, and coaching tips. Discovery Cards increase engagement, participation, self-discovery, and spark great discussions in group settings. For the best experience, buy a Group Kit, which includes everything you need to run an effective session.
