If you are trying to kick the habit but need a little help, Monongahela Valley Hospital’s Community Care Network (CCN) is offering the “Smoke Free for Life” program, sponsored by BREATHE Pennsylvania.
Participants in the program will learn how to overcome barriers that keep them from quitting, develop a customized “quit plan” that will lead to success, learn the art of positive self-talk, practice sound techniques to manage stress, develop strategies that will prevent relapse, and receive support in a positive and comfortable environment.
The seasonal sessions are broken down into four two-hour courses at the Monongahela Valley HealthPlex in suite 270. The spring session will be Mondays in April (April 2, 9, 16 and 23) from 1 to 3 p.m.; the summer session will be Tuesdays in June (June 5, 12, 19 and 26) from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.; the fall session will be Thursdays in September (September 6, 13, 20 and 27) from 10 a.m. to noon; and the winter session will be Tuesdays in November (November 6, 13, 20 and 27) from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
For more information or to register, call the CCN at 724-258-1226.
