Newton County YAT Kicks Off Kick the Habit 2026 Planning

Planning a successful prevention event takes more than just showing up — and the Newton County Youth Action Team knows that well.

On March 16, 2026, twelve YAT members gathered for a one-hour working meeting to begin developing their activities for the annual Kick the Habit event. Members worked on planning their individual station activities, with the "Game On" theme already taking shape as the group mapped out their approach to peer education on topics including vaping, mental health, substance misuse, and more.

The energy in the room reflected the creativity and commitment the YAT brings to every project — and the work they put in during planning meetings like this one is what makes Kick the Habit such a standout event each year.
