​The purpose of the Tobacco-Use Prevention Education (TUPE) program is to reduce youth tobacco use by helping young people make healthy tobacco-related decisions through tobacco-specific, research-validated educational instruction and activities that build knowledge,​ as well as social skills and youth development assets. TUPE funding originates from tobacco tax revenue and provides prevention programs in grades six through twelve. 

The Orange County TUPE Consortium, led by the Orange County Department of Education, is a partnership of twelve school districts. Participating school district​s are: OCDE ACCESS (Alternative Education Division), Buena Park School District, Fountain Valley School District, Garden Grove Unified School District, Huntington Beach City School District, Laguna Beach Unified School District, ​Saddleback Valley Unified School District, Santa Ana Unified School District, Tustin Unified School District, Capistrano Unified School District, Newport Mesa Unified School District, and Westminster School District.

Southern Region Student Wellness Conference

The Southern Region Student Wellness Conference (SRSWC) is an engaging multi-day event designed to empower educational partners such as mental health professionals, administrators, educators, school counselors, school safety staff, healthcare providers, and the community to address the needs of the whole child.
