Freedom From Smoking Facilitator Training
The American Lung Association in Nevada (ALAN), Las Vegas office, is seeking community volunteers to train as facilitators for ALA’s premier adult smoking cessation program, Freedom From Smoking. The FFS program includes comprehensive behavior modification techniques, and deals with both the physical and psychological addictive nature of nicotine. The program’s group setting provides a much needed support element, which is basic for anyone trying to quit. ALAN encourages members of the African-American, Latino/a, LGBT, Native American, and mental or behavioral health, and substance abuse recovery communities to train as FFS facilitators because these communities are disparately impacted by tobacco use. This 1 and ½ day training is offered at no-cost to participants and will include the facilitator manual, lunch, break snacks and all the training needed to facilitate the program. The training will be held at ALAN, 3552 W. Cheyenne Ave., Ste. 130, North Las Vegas, NV 89032. Contact Richard Davis at 702-431-6348 or rdavis@lungnevada.org to register.
