and shaping the local project's activities. School prevention activities are
headed up by the teaching of project TNT in all middle schools. Other
activities include youth created media, peer led presentations, teacher
workshops, youth coalitions, compliance checks and annual "Kick Butts
Day" activities. Individual and group cessation services are provided in
middle and high schools in St. Johns and Round Valley as well as in the
community setting. There are specific programs geared to pregnant women

local clinics. Apache County schools have benefited by forming a
collaborative relationship with the local project. School policies in Tobacco
Free Campuses have been reviewed and school signage has increased.
Tobacco free environments are being promoted with a restaurant guide.
