Maricopa County Public Health

Empowering future leaders! 🌟 Last month, Dalila from our Tobacco Regional Communities team trained Simonne from Advance Community on the CATCH My Breath Vaping Prevention Program. They implemented the program at Show Up!, a high school summer camp where students honed professional skills, earned CPR & First Aid certificates, and explored public health. Eleven out of twelve 10th-12th graders completed all sessions and received Certificates of Completion! Here's to building healthier communities together! 💪 #WorkingTogetherWednesday #PublicHealth #YouthLeadership #CATCHMyBreath
