QuitCore, a free Alberta Health Services tobacco-cessation program that provides tools and support to help individuals build a tobacco-free lifestyle, returns to Lethbridge in February.
QuitCore will be held from 2:30-4 p.m. on six consecutive Tuesdays starting Feb. 25 until March 31 in the boardroom at the Bigelow Fowler Clinic at 1605 9 Ave. S.
Led by trained cessation professionals, the QuitCore program teaches tobacco users how to develop a plan to quit while providing strategies to address recovery symptoms, manage stress and, ultimately, prevent relapse.
The program also connects participants with others trying to quit.
