Gateway's Prevention Team works at the state and local level to stop or slow the development of substance use and mental health disorders before they begin. We facilitate many prevention initiatives including:
"Eat better, move more, and be tobacco free, is the motto of the TSET Healthy Living Program staff.
Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) Healthy Living Program
These three statements are the basis to the prevention of several diseases which kill Oklahomans at an alarming rate; heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
Healthy Living Program grantees have a primary role of enacting environmental strategies through local policy and ordinances in addition to supporting statewide legislation that creates sustainable change surrounding access to nutritious options, access to physical activity and reducing the use of tobacco.
