Freedom From Smoking® facilitator training is a required course for all who intend to assist smokers in quitting through the Freedom From Smoking® program. Participants are trained to lead our seven-week quit-smoking program and use proven methods to ensure success for smokers who want to quit. Those who successfully complete the two-day training will be certified by the American Lung Association.
The facilitator training helps participants understand the quitting process. Through lectures and group activities, participants learn the concepts, philosophy, materials and techniques used in our seven-week Freedom From Smoking® program.
At the end of the training, participants will be able to:
• Identify the characteristics of effective group leadership
• Facilitate each Freedom From Smoking® module
• Implement a variety of problem-solving techniques
• Define key levels of communication skills
Most ex-smokers say quitting was the hardest thing they have ever done – and it’s the most important for good health. So if you are looking for a way to make the most difference in someone’s life, this is it.
