Earlier this year, Trust service Health Trainers launched their Smoke Free Generation Campaign with the aim of providing everyone with the opportunity to successfully stop smoking. This is brought to residents of the East Riding of Yorkshire with their free support, guidance and Nicotine Replacement Therapy. By doing so we could have a Smokefree East Riding by as soon as 2022!
Below is a recent client testimonial on the Smoke Free service that they received from the Health Trainers.
“From start to finish I was listened to and treated with respect and understanding. It was practical in the sense I had someone to talk to ‘who got it’ and I was encouraged a lot. Having someone in the background as a safety net made me less anxious as giving up smoking was huge for me. The support I have received gave me strength to stop and with the help of the community link service, I am now getting support for my mental health. I cannot fault both the Stop Smoking and Community Link service. Thank you again!”
