2 This is the theme for a new initiative from the Healthy South Carolina Initiative Community Transformation Grant that was awarded to Fairfield Community Healthy Partners in May 212. All Aboard For a Healthy Fairfield Faith Based Tobacco Prevention Healthy & Active Living All Aboard For a Healthy Fairfield focus areas include tobacco-free living and healthy eating/active living. Fairfield Behavioral Health Services (FBHS), one of the Health Partners along with support from other partners like the South Carolina Tobacco Free Collaborative is responsible for coordinating with faith based organizations to provide tobacco education with the goal to adopt and implement a model tobacco-free policy, smoke-free environments including vehicles and homes. FBHS is also charged with leading the youth empowerment strategies with guidance from the Eat Smart Move More South Carolina Coalition (ESMMSC). ESMMSC has dubbed the efforts Healthy Young People Empowerment (HYPE) project. HYPE is considered a project of the REAL Teen Action youth group created by Fairfield Behavioral Health Services during the school year. Together the youth members raise their voices to say NO to drugs and violence and YES to healthy eating and active living. The purpose of the Faith Based Tobacco Education Training is to provide the latest information on tobacco, the impact it has on health, and to enhance faith based communities abilities to educate its congregation, families, and community as well as implement strategies to improve their health. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of disease and premature death in South Carolina. The key word is preventable. The economic cost due to smoking in South Carolina is more than three billion dollars, and attributes to deaths exceeding 6, residents of the state. In October 213, we began Round Two with the goal of expanding efforts with the faith based community. During this grant cycle, faith based organizations are being asked to develop a Health Ministry and complete several objectives in order to earn a monetary incentive ($325). The Health Ministry goal is to encourage members to not only make healthier lifestyle choices, but to create environments that support healthy behaviors at home, church, and throughout the community. The overwhelming message communicated for this county and statewide initiative has been to reduce deaths and disabilities. As of August 23, 214 Fairfield Behavioral Health Services and its faith based partners achieved the following: 77 Faith Based Organizations have participated in tobacco education training from 11 countywide trainings; 61 adopted a Model Tobacco-Free Policy; 45 completed Tobacco Education objectives; 693 Families adopted tobacco free policies for home/vehicle; 45 hosted separate tobacco free education activities at their church; 51 adopted the Healthy Living Policy; and 1 completed ALL Health Ministry objectives Contact Cheryl Goodwin ext 2 to learn how your church or family can receive a permanent Tobacco Free Sign 1
