With support and encouragement you can do it!

If you've been thinking about quitting smoking, you've probably been thinking about the many possible benefits....things like:

• Living healthier and feeling better
• Saving money
• Protecting your family from second-hand smoke
• Discouraging other members of your family from taking up smoking

But quitting can be tough, and it can take many attempts. That's why Barwon Health has set up a number of specialist Be Smokefree Clinics to give smokers the help they need.

Be Smokefree Clinics at Barwon Health

The Be Smokefree Clinics at Barwon Health provide individual support over a number of weeks.

This approach can be very helpful because:

• It helps you to understand why you smoke and why you want to quit
• It helps you to develop strategies for quitting or cutting back
• It provides you with regular support to manage through the quitting process
• It provides non-judgmental encouragement – even when you slip up

Our staff will also liaise with your general practitioner and other health professionals to make sure we consider your overall health concerns.
