Newton County YAT Begins Planning Kick the Habit 2026 Activities

Every great event starts with a plan — and on February 9, 2026, the Newton County Youth Action Team got to work.

Fifteen YAT members and adult partners gathered for a one-hour meeting to begin developing their individual tabling activities for the annual Kick the Habit prevention event. With the "Game On" theme already in mind, members started mapping out how to bring prevention topics like vaping, mental health, substance misuse, and more to life through interactive, game-inspired stations.

It was the first step in what would become one of the YAT's most creative and well-attended Kick the Habit events to date.
