TSET helps identify and conquer health barriers.
OKLAHOMA CITY (August 11, 2023) — This month, Shape Your Future, a program of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust, launches a new health education campaign acknowledging the obstacles that prevent many Oklahomans from living healthier lives and offering encouragement and ideas for overcoming them.
The campaign, called Barriers, shows Oklahomans how Shape Your Future can help with the challenges when it comes to eating nutritious foods, staying active, drinking water and getting better sleep.
Barriers are hard to overcome, but people across the state can find the resources they need to make healthy living simple at ShapeYourFutureOK.com. The Barriers campaign is running statewide on TV and Radio, digital and social media, billboards and more beginning August 11.
“Overcoming obstacles to positive changes is one of the biggest steps to making healthier choices,” said Julie Bisbee, TSET executive director. “We want to make it as easy as possible for Oklahomans to conquer some of those barriers and support them along the way.”
It can be hard to make budget-friendly healthy choices, but Shape Your Future has resources on how to create nutritious meals that are full of flavor, affordable and simple. For Oklahomans with limited time, ideas for quick meals, workouts and more are available. Even those with limited access to gyms and grocery stores can find healthy hacks.
