Do you work with women who smoke and aren't yet ready or able to quit? Not
sure how to bring it up, or what to say?
STARSS can help!
Action on Women's Addictions-Research & Education (AWARE) and our partners
from Ontario's Community Health Centres and Public Health Units are offering
a series of Webinars to enhance:
. Understanding the role that smoking plays in the lives of women who smoke
. Support for women who smoke, in particular those with young children
. Professional practice through increased understanding of STARSS
philosophy, strategies and
resources
. Capacity to incorporate STARSS into existing programs
. Exchange of ideas and next steps to implement STARSS
Webinar #1 will provide an overview of STARSS.
Upcoming webinars will illustrate sample STARSS scenarios and offer STARSS
implementation strategies for varying levels of capacity depending upon the
service setting.
In order to be as responsive as possible, each Webinar will be offered by
region across Ontario and each is open to staff of Community Health Centres
(health promoters, community
health workers, nurses) and Public Health Units (child & family health
teams, CPNP staff).
The dates for Webinar #1 are:
. Thursday, December 1, 11:00 to Noon EST - Central region
. Tuesday, December 6, 1:00 to 2:00 EST - North region
