Brief Intervention Cessation Counselling
Training Opportunity
|
|
|
|
BICC Training workshops are available to all workplaces.
Participants will learn the skills required to discuss smoking cessation effectively with a smoker. It only takes a few minutes to help a smoker whether they are in the workplace as a client or a co-worker, or in the community as family or friends. A brief intervention by a caring person with the evidence-based information learned at this workshop can significantly improve the chance that a smoker will make a successful quit attempt.
- The instructor for this workshop is a trained cessation specialist on staff with the Northwestern Health Unit.
- Each workshop is 4.0 hours long.
- There is no fee for the BICC trainer; however the host is asked to provide the venue and refreshments.
For more information regarding a BICC Training opportunity for your workplace, please contact Christine McLeod, Tobacco Free Living Health Promoter at the Northwestern Health Unit (807) 223-3301 ext. 233.
Availability of this workshop is subject to funding.
