The American Lung Association in Nevada is offering our Freedom From Smoking Facilitator Training for our adult smoking cessation program. 

The FFS program includes comprehensive behavior modification techniques, including Motivational Interviewing training, and deals with both the physical and psychological addictive nature of nicotine. The group setting provides a much needed support element, which is basic for anyone trying to quit.  The program has been proven effective for over 25 years in helping those who want to quit smoking to quit for good.  Through the ALA’s partnership with the Nevada Tobacco Users Helpline, the Helpline provides limited nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to eligible FFS participants and we will discuss NRT referral protocol as part of the training.  Included in the training is practice in performing a brief intervention for tobacco use.

This 12 hour training costs $350.00 ($245.00 non-profit rate). The training includes the facilitator manual and participants are eligible to be certified as an American Lung Association Freedom From Smoking Facilitator once they have facilitated one Freedom From Smoking program.  Our trainer is Richard Davis, an experienced Freedom From Smoking facilitator and trainer.  We will brown bag for lunch.  Please bring your own hot beverages.
