We Can Quit – Stop Smoking Programme
We Can Quit is a free, friendly and supportive group programme for men and women, who smoke and who want support to quit smoking.
The evidence suggests that if you commit to quitting and staying quit for 28 days, use behavioural support such as the support offered within this programme as well as stop smoking medication, you are five times more likely to quit for good.
During the programme you will be supported to quit smoking by:
- expertly trained community facilitators who are trained by the HSE as Stop Smoking Advisors
- the peers in your group and
- a local community pharmacist
The programme provides:
- Weekly group support sessions, led by two community facilitators who are trained as stop smoking advisors (a minimum of 7 weeks programme with each session lasting approximately 1.5 hours)
- One-to-one support from the community facilitators (a support phone call or text message during the week)
- 12 weeks supply of free stop smoking medications
All of the community facilitators are fully trained by the HSE as Stop Smoking Advisors. They will be able to provide you with the behavioural support that you will need on your journey, as well as advice and information on the stop smoking medications.
The courses can be delivered as female only, male only or mixed gender programmes.
The programme is being offered by The EDI Centre in partnership with the HSE.
