How Schools’ CARE works
The referral takes less than one minute to complete and students can complete the referral on their own or with the help of a teacher, school counselor, nurse, parent or other adult. Schools should keep in mind that assisting a young person in making the referral shows you care about their health and are there to support their efforts in living tobacco free.
Here are the five simple steps of Schools CARE:
1. Visit www.smokershelp.net
2. Click on the Contact Us page
3. Click on the Schools’ CARE Button
4. Complete the pop up box with the student’s name, email address, and school name
5. Hit send. It’s that simple!
A trained Smokers’ Helpline counselor will email the young person tips and techniques on how to set up personalized plan to quit smoking. Helpline counselors will also discuss other programs and services available to young people in this province and make appropriate community-based referrals.
If you would like to learn more about the Schools’ CARE Program and how to help young people live tobacco free call 1-800-363-5864 or visit www.smokershelp.net. It’s Your Call!
Teachers, principals and school counselors can help by completing this form with the student. Schools CARE is free and confidential. Studies show that using the CARE Program doubles a person's chance of quitting!
