In-Person Tobacco Cessation Group Classes at Fletcher Allen Health Care (FAHC):
Group cessation classes are based on the American Cancer Society’s freshstart program which runs for 4 consecutive weeks and is facilitated by a Tobacco Treatment Specialist (TTS). The overall goal of the program is to help individuals overcome their addiction and enjoy the health benefits of a tobacco free lifestyle. The program is free and confidential. Delivered in a small group community or workplace setting, participants receive personal attention and the support of their peers. The program is evidence-based and proven effective. Groups are tailored to meet the needs of different learning styles and each session combines group discussion, education, skills practice in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
During the In-Person Group participants are introduced to the following key stages:
- Preparation phase: tailoring your plan and laying the foundation for your success
- Quit day: planning and affirming the decision to quit
- Maintenance plan: providing skills, resources and support to remain tobacco free
- Nicotine Replacement: your TTS will help you choose the right nicotine replacement plan. An 8-week supply of free patches, gum or lozenges are available to group participants (while supply is available)
