Coaching for Tobacco Cessation

Quitting tobacco use, and vaping is one of the most challenging subjects in improving health and wellness.

Nicotine addiction impedes the quitting process and adds a layer of complexity for a client to change behaviors and establish patterns to be successful. This on-demand recorded webinar covers tobacco use, as well as how to facilitate a tobacco cessation session with empathy, while remaining non-judgmental, and supporting the client in cultivating positive emotions and self-talk.
