Conducted jointly by Eastern Suffolk BOCES and the Suffolk County Department of Health Services.
As partners Eastern Suffolk BOCES and Suffolk County Department of Health Services are implementing a countywide Health Education Initiative. In essence, funding is being provided to BOCES enabling us to help districts implement a comprehensive K-12 health curriculum consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines for school health programs to prevent tobacco use and addiction. Additionally, we assist secondary schools in implementing cessation programs for those students who use tobacco products. The initiative further provides for assisting districts in strengthening their tobacco policies. Youth empowerment activities comprise the final component of the initiative.
