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.  

Register now to receive the log-in information.  You’ll also receive a reminder email the day of the session.

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.

Sign-Up for May 29 Session

Explore how mindfulness can help boost your ability to consciously respond to cravings and triggers (rather than impulsively react to them by smoking).
