“It has been a whirlwind year, and it’s more important than ever to prioritize your health and your family’s health,” said Julie Bisbee, TSET executive director.

Check out the free resources focused on physical activity and healthy eating through Shape Your Future and get the tools you need to make the healthy choice the easy choice.”
“Healthy Schools OK is excited to continue partnering with TSET and the Shape Your Future program to provide physical activity videos for Oklahoma families,” said Lindsi Lemons, Healthy Schools OK executive director. “As we welcome a new season, we hope these videos encourage families to get outside, get active and enjoy the sunshine.

Shape Your Future (SYF) is a community health education intervention that encourages Oklahomans to eat better, move more and be tobacco free. SYF was developed in 2011 by the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) and the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). It provides simple messaging for moms and influencers in the lives of children to eat more fruits and vegetables and to be more physically active to improve overall health. SYF strives to educate parents, teachers, caregivers and all Oklahomans on how to make the healthy choice the easy choice.
TSET’s partner, Healthy Schools OK (HSOK), promotes and maintains healthy lifestyle choices in Oklahoma through preventive, community-based, school health education programs for students, their families and faculty. HSOK provides funding, curricula, training, evaluation tools and support to participating elementary schools focusing on physical activity, nutrition, injury prevention, tobacco use prevention and oral health education. HSOK uses a highly collaborative private-public structure that multiples and magnifies resources such as volunteers, information, funding and ongoing support services. HSOK is funded in part by a grant from the Oklahoma State Medical Association Foundation.
The Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) serves as a partner and bridge builder for organizations shaping a healthier future for all Oklahomans. TSET provides leadership at the intersections of health by working with local coalitions and initiatives across the state, cultivating innovative and life-changing research, and working across public and private sectors to develop, support, implement and evaluate creative strategies to take advantage of emerging opportunities to improve the public’s health.
