Alternative to Suspension-smoking cessation
Purpose of the group is To provide students accurate and helpful education on the effects of smoking/ chewing of tobacco and give them an opportunity for cessation.
An initial session will be held with the students parent(s) and after the 4 groups another family session will be held for any recommendations. There are four contiguous groups held every two weeks (biweekly). Each group is designed for specific information i.e.; education on effects on the body, mind & spirit, understanding the reasons €œwhy�? a person smokes initially, discussion of effective cessation programs, developing healthy peer supports and an individual cessation plan. Additionally students will be linked to community resources for smoking cessation programs or pharmacological programs.
