Virtual Support Sessions
Join us!
We are hosting several online sessions in the upcoming weeks to provide extra tobacco cessation support for anyone who may be interested.

These informal sessions are led by a facilitator and provide an opportunity to learn from peers as we discuss experiences with quitting.
Topics covered:
We’ll review effective strategies for coping with stress; learn more about how smoking does not actually relieve stress, and may cause more tension and anxiety.
