“Including CATCH My Breath in my middle school health program has been great! The program is beneficial in informing my students of the dangers of e-cigarette products and providing them with the skills to resist peer pressure. CATCH My Breath is easy to implement, and given the new developments about these products, it has become very relevant and critical that we inform students and parents about the dangers of e-cigarettes. CATCH is helping us prevent this epidemic from continuing!”
- Martha Carmen - Health and PE teacher at Edison Park Elementary“CATCH My Breath was very easy to use. I knew I needed to start talking about this, but I had no idea where to start. CATCH My Breath was the perfect foundation.”
- Amy DeRossi - 6th grade teacher at Cassell Elementary“It was very useful and kids seem to respond well to it. I liked the middle school physical activities section as well.”
