The purpose of these groups is to provide motivation, confidence, and skills needed to achieve cessation and maintain abstinence from tobacco use. The community support group is a peer support system. The goal is to choose a plan that will work for them, and have the peer support from the group to encourage the success of their plan for each attempt to achieve cessation.
There is no pre-registration or charge to attend these peer community support groups.
