CATCH My Breath is a youth vaping prevention program led by trained facilitators. Facilitators lead participants in four, 30 minute sessions. The sessions utilize social emotional learning, peer-facilitated cooperative learning groups, large group discussions, analysis of mass media, and goal setting.

CATCH My Breath targets middle and high school students. The program will be piloted first in Person County middle schools.

CATCH My Breath's peer-led teaching approach empowers students with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions about e-cigarettes and to resist social pressures to vape.

The anticipated initiation date for the CATCH My Breath vaping prevention program in Northern Middle School is March 2024.

In March of 2024, CATCH My Breath was piloted in Northern Middle School. The program was delivered to 60 sixth-grade students. The data collected from this program's evaluation was used as the baseline. Person County Health Department's (PCHD) Public Health Educator presented Person County Schools Nursing Supervisor and school administration with the results from the program's evaluation. PCHD received approval from Person County's Board of Education to implement the program with both Northern Middle School and Southern Middle School in the spring of 2025.

In March of 2025, the CATCH My Breath Youth Vaping Prevention Program was administered at Northern and Southern Middle Schools in Person County.  The program was administered to 123 student participants.  A post-evaluation of this program showed an increase of up to 27% in the participants knowledge of the dangers of vaping. A full report was forwarded to the Person County Schools Nurse Supervisor.
