| ISLAND TEENS ADVOCACY TEAM ITAT NEWSLETTER June 2023 Networking, Collaborating, and Building Partnerships Caption: Our ITAT students participate in team building activities. ITAT Works with OUTRAGE and Central Hispano During June, our ITAT students attended an activity day that collaborated with OUTRAGE and Central Hispano, organizations that have similar missions to ITAT of tobacco/vape prevention and youth advocacy. The activity day was held at the CLAS Ropes Course in Provo on June 12th. Our Island teens spent the day meeting new friends, learning from team building activities, and having fun! They did rock climbing, obstacle courses, and other zipline activities. Many of the activities required the rest of the group supporting one person. Caption: The youth supported one another in an activity of getting everyone over the wall. The students worked together to pull a rope that hoisted up the person on a swing. In another activity called the 'leap of faith', one student climbed up a platform with a harness and jumped off while slowly being lowered to the ground. The rest of the group cheered on the individual jumping to encourage them to take the 'leap of faith'. At the close of the day, OUTRAGE, ITAT, and Central Hispano presented on advocacy and guided the students through positive affirmations, "I am smart, I am kind, I am important!". Check out our Instagram @islandteenadvocacyteam for more photos and videos from our activities this month! Tobacco Resources: MY LIFE MY QUIT: mylifemyquit.com is a new service available to teens, to assist them in quitting the highly addictive nicotine products that comprise the teen vaping epidemic. All they need to do is text "Start My Quit" 855-891-9989 to talk or text with a quit coach to cheer them on in their journey of quitting! You can always call 1-800-QUIT-NOW to get help on quitting!
